For woods hunting, the 94 in 30-30 is pretty hard to beat.
Its a gun meant for hunting in the woods, or still hunting where your shots will be fairly short.

The 30-30 drops off pretty quick after 150 yards, but has plenty behind it to make clean kills at least out to 200.

If you don't like the buckhorn sights, you can get a Williams receiver sight that screws right into the receiver using holes that were drilled and tapped into the receiver from the factory.

Don't bother with a scope- the 94 isn't made to take a scope though one can be mounted in a goofy offset mount. A scope does nothing to add to the rifle, but does screw up the rifle's nice balance and light weight.

Have fun with the old rifle, they used to make them a whole lot nicer than the current crop of 94s.
