My grandfather owned a 94, as did several of my uncles. I have use them on several hunting trips, and shot them rather extensively. I bought a Marlin 336. Easier to mount a scope or a peep sight, stronger action. I liked the integrated pistol grip better than the straight stock of the winchester. I also had some problems jamming shells in the action of the winchester, but maybe I'm unlucky or stupid (perhaps a little of both?).
