Price, it's all about the price
Inbound, arriving today or tomorrow.
Win 94 Ranger, 20 inch barrel, 30-30, 1986 YOM, in excellent condition.
Work in the planning stages envisions conversions necessary to make for a snap shooter.....good for still hunting deer (not sure why its still hunting since its actually that so slow walk that you never have to look down at your feet.) and those coyotes that often visit.
Goal is to reproduce something akin to the old Ranger Compact which came in 30-30 and 357 Mag.
Pros: 30-30 caliber in near like new condition, forged 4144 receiver, angle eject, potentially the coil spring with half cock model, no safety, cheep wood for banging around or hydro dip.
Potential changes and upgrades:
Bushnell Elite 4500 1.5-4x on weaver bases with vortex rings.
Removal of iron sights.
Shorten barrel.
Shorten mag tube to match barrel length or, possibly to half mag capacity (if said length will yield 3 or 4 +1 capacity).
Convert to coil spring half cock if its a rebound hammer model, but it shouldn't be.
Shorten butt-stock to my length of pull.
Action smoothing as needed.
Dark stain wood refinish or perhaps hydro dip.
Sling swivel studs.
Hollow butt-stock as needed.
Glasbed stock and/or forend.
11 degree recrown.
Items not on the list:
Leather wrapped lever.
Big loop lever or lever mods for increased size/shape.
Buttstock shell carrier (4 or 5 in the action is way more than plenty)
Tacti-crap of any form including but not limited to threaded muzzle, way too far forward "optical" devices, batteries, flashlights, lasers, photon-maser, glock-pickatinny-bayonette-mount, bipods, breacher muzzle brake flash hider with MRE bag opener, frame mounted side saddle spare ammo carrier, buttstock cleaning kit, solar panel forend for satellite phone recharging, etc..... (Its definitely not going to be one of the "oh so popular" kiddy rifles that wind up being dumped on the board a week after the happy feeling wears off.)
