A Win 94 seems to be a must have if not only for nostalgic reasons. It almost seems un-American not to own one. Same as not owing a 30-06!! Silly of course. I never owned one up until about 7 or 8 years ago. Now I have 2. One in 30-30 and another in 32 Win Spl. But I also have a batch of Marlins. (1894s and 1895s) Some with scopes and some without. I love my .45-70s and would someday like to get my hands on a Win 1886. I did have a 71 that I bought for $750 and when I was offered $1550 for it I let it go.
