Rifle is sold.....
Back up for sale is my Sears Model 54 30/30 lever rifle, made by Winchester for Sears, a Winchester 94 "Top Eject" rifle in plain clothes. From what I can find out, the Sears Model 54 was made from 1966 to 1972. This rifle has a nickeled loading gate, steel butt plate, humbler wood than found on the real deal Winchester 94's, and a non-hooded, non- ramped front sight. These later became the Sears "Ted Williams" Model 100, but they had nicer wood and a plastic butt plate.
When I first offered this rifle for sale on this forum, it had a side mounted scope mount that I found interfered with ejection of fired cartridges, took the mount off and the rifle shoots flawlessly without it. I never liked that scope mount, never used it and am glad it's gone. The holes have been filled with filler screws. I believe these holes to be original from the factory, as every Sears Model 54 I have seen have these holes. There are several on Gun Broker right now that have identical holes. Later Sears Model 100's did not have these holes....
This rifle is in good, used shape with some finish wear and patina you'd expect from a 50 year old hunting rifle. The pics show the finish wear. I have shot it a good bit, I find it shoots better than most of my other 30/30 rifles, as the front bead is a little smaller than most, allowing for a finer hold. The sights are well regulated, easy to hit small targets out to 100 yards. I have included a pic of a five round group fired from the prone position at 100 yards. There is a sling swivel stud installed in the butt stock. Rifle is 100% reliable in operation, with good chambering, firing, extraction and ejection.
A perfect truck, boat or utility rifle. Keep it as a spare or loan it to your Brother in Law or Nephew. Careful if you loan it to young shooters, they won't want to return it...
Price is $300 plus actual USPS shipping. How that works is you say "I'll Take It", PM me your FFL's shipping address and I'll get back to you with a shipping quote based on USPS rates. Payment by USPS Money Order or personal checks held to clear. A face to face transaction is available to Virginia Residents within a reasonable drive from Marion, Va. Post and "I'll Take It!" to claim as yours, PM for shipping/payment details or if you have any questions.
Here's some pics:

I would love to hang on to this rifle, but I guess you can't keep them all, at least that's what my wife keeps telling me......
