Anyone know what a good price is for this rifle used in good condition? I have the opportunity to buy one for 300.00. Is this a good price?

The SS version of that rifle goes about $575 in shops around here, the blue about $50 less. I'd say $300 is a good price.

It is a blue rifle but the model number is 1894s.

Log onto gunbroker.com and see what they are selling for on the big auction site.

Sounds like a decent price to me. I bought my 1894SS with laminated stock, last year, for $595, new.

If I had $300 and was wherever you are I would be running out to buy it right now. If you are feeling lucky try to get them to throw in a box or two or rounds too. The way the economy is they might bite on it.

They are hard to find around here, 300 is a great price. DP

any 1894 in clean shape is worth 350 ,375, perfect would be over 4

They sell around here (middle TN) for around the $400 - $425 mark used in good condition. I would say $300 is a very good price if it is in any decent shape at all. BTW, I paid $425 for mine and killed the bear in my avatar with it, Lonnie.

Same here in central KY, I know of one for $425 and the guy might take $400 but I already have a stainless model so don't need it. I'd jump on one for $300 though.

Well I picked up the 1894s on Friday but I did'nt get a free box of shells with it. I wore my dirty work clothes and picked it up for 275.00.It is in like new condition. I guess it never hurts to ask for a lower price.

SmokeEater2 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 08, 2010, 05:57:07 AM »

275 bucks? You got a heck of a deal on a fine little rifle! Congrats.

I like the dirty work clothes strategy. My Dad always said that if he won the lottery, he would put on his old pair of gardening pants, a rope for a belt, wear his old floppy hat and a T-Shirt, carrying cash in a beat up old suitcase, and walk into the Rolls Royce dealership and see how they would treat him.

Dirty work clothes, huh? Did you also drive your old beat up pickup trick with the clothes hanger holding the muffler on

? Go to the nearest police station and turn yourself in for stealing

. Congrats, Lonnie.

You done good.
Brian my dad did just that but he wore his old navy chucka boots and a pair of old cut off overall's went into the cady dealership took his checkbook out and wrote a check for the car and they told him they could not take it so he said he would go across the street and get a lincon they ran him down in the parking lot befor he could make it to his car,sometimes you just gota have fun.

They need a slap up the side of their head from time to time...

I had a friend in the navy that was like that. Not quite to that degree, but he was worth close to $10mil from stocks that he had. He stopped off at a chevy dealership when he went on leave and told the saleman he wanted to test drive a new vette. The salesman laughed at him and told him he didn't make enough money to even test drive one of those not to mention buy one. Too bad for the saleman my friend was friends with the owner of the dealership. After one phone call he was sitting in the unemployment line and he couldn't afford drive an old beater. What goes around comes around!

Weird, the millionaire next door types rarely buy new Caddies.

Sam Walton, once the richest guy in America, was known for driving an old pickup truck his entire life. Yes, the guy from Walmart.

I'd pay 300 for another one in a heartbeat!!
