Decent finish but says there’s a crack in the wrist.  Can’t really see it in the photos.  I believe I could do a blind repair with acroglass. It could be a fun project if the price stays right.  I’m not familiar with the newer generation rifles or the 348 caliber. Any thoughts or advice?

 

Thanks,

Adam

That is a nice 94 but $80,000 is a lot of money. Is that price realistic in todays market?
  

Umm..no, not even close!

The cc on this one appears original imo from the photos for its age and matches the wear. That is a very nice 1894.
  

Yes, I believe many of us know who owned it at the time it was on the cover of Robert Renneberg's book.

Which was pictured on the front cover of Robert Renneberg's Model 94 book 2nd edition. I'm sure it's all original, but wow the price he's asking.

With current oil prices that’s gotta put it over the $90k mark.

What a bargain....

The pristine cc with no handling wear on the upper tang just doesn’t match the battle scars on the wood and wrist.

One interesting observation about the write-up. Story is that one hundred barrels were tested, best barrel was set aside. Ten lots of barrels were tested, the ten best barrels were tested, best became part of a "One of One Thousand". The other nine barrels were used to build "One of One Hundred" rifles. Why do we not have nine "One of One Hundred" rifles for every " One of One Thousand"?

This is what I've always wondered too! In for a penny, in for a pound I guess if you were buying an upgraded rifle back in the day.

Guess that's why there are less 1 of 100,s. 

BTW, while we are on the subject of 1of 1000's, they had all these long range sight options and a lot of hoopla about they're unheard of accuracy right. Has anyone actually ever tried to shoot a 44 or 38 wcf 1000 yard's? I would love to see that.
