Gun is seriously challenged finish wise. Carried by a cop for quite a few years. Was in the box and got it for350 bucks Yesterday at the gun show(Billings) I made a trade. Hope it was a good one. Dealer there had a Winchester 94 AE rifle in exc condition in the fairly rare 357 Caliber. I made an even up trade with him. Gun is exc condition with no finish challenges. I put a few rounds down the bore today and it shoots pretty darn good. Only rifle I have bought in months. Daughter wants to glom onto it already. I think not. I gave her a Marlin 1894 in 44 mag already. What do ya all say? Decent trade? If I can get a decent pitcher I will post one or two
