Sometime after 1982 which ran to ca. 5,100,000. Don't have any reference for later dates.

Thanks for all your help and I called Winchester today and found it was made in 2004 and shipped to walmart as a Ranger package with sights. not sure what they mean with sights and ranger package,

The "Ranger" was Winchesters low price, value line, with hardwood stock, other manufacturing shortcuts to make a plain, yet serviceable rifle to compete against Marlin and others.
Rangers are still good hunting arms, I use one whenever I foresee rough use. Here's a link to an earlier discussion, with pics of my Ranger and it's older brother, a 1949 vintage Model 94:

The Ranger designation lets us know a couple of things about the gun, even though we haven't seen it.
Typically, "Rangers" will have a birch stock on them instead of walnut, they also sometimes have a bit of barrel extending just beyond the magazine tube- about 1"-2" or so, and the front sight is just a dovetailed blade into the barrel with no bead instead of the ramp style found on "standard" model 94's.
All these features cut the price a few dollars and made them a better deal.

94 AE's
I've got two 94 AE's and really like them.
This one is .30-30 and has a 24" barrel...shoots 1" groups at 100yds with Remington Core Lokt 170 grain ammo.
This one is a .44 Magnum Wrangler...16" barrel, saddle ring and large loop from the factory.
