I have a Win 94 AE 'Trapper' chambered in 30-30 that has been reemed out to 30-30 Ackley Improved. Whole gun is about as long as a yard stick and I have taken deer with it out to 225 yards. They certainly don't make the short 94s anymore, and the new 94s that are coming out in 2011 are going to be made in the orient and msrp is up over a grand. Look for a good used one if you want to go the winchester route.
Remington made the 760 for decades, and they made them in several different chamberings. They are nice and point like an 870 (have about the same trigger too), but you can get off a quick second shot if need be, and the one my grandfather handed down to me in 30-06 shoots sub MOA with 165gr factory loads. They can often be found very reasonably priced on the used rack at almost any gun shop.
