Came across a Win. Model 54 30-06. Read that they are fairly rare (around 50,000 made). The post says "1926 model 54 30-06 over all in good shape, some pitting, stock dings and discoloration, bore is bright excellent rifling." The gentleman is asking $375. Good buy? Any help is appreciated!

I would buy it immediately. Even as a truck gun it is a goo buy!

Sold! to me. Going to pick up after work.After doing a bunch of reading and asking my dad, im pretty excited about this rifle. I am excited to see the accuracy that is talked about with it.

I sure like the sound of that deal. Hope it's in good shape bore wise as they say. If you can give us a few pic's.

The bore is in VERY good condition. The right side wood is stained..some rust spots on right side (maybe it was laying on its side for a while) but overall ii feel that is in pretty dang good condition for the $$. And boy is that action smooooth! I will try and get some pics up. Thanks

I paid $375 in 1986 for one in '06. It will do 1 MOA all day with 180s and IMR 4350.

Sounds like you did good. Any Buba work on it?
Need some pics

Nice score! Congrats!

I found a Model 54 several years back chambered in .30 WCF. Schweet! Wouldn't trade it for anything.

Almost 50 years ago when I was in Alaska an older friend had a Mod 54 in .270 Win that he bought new as a teenager. He had taken many elk, caribou, moose and sheep (to include grand slam) with it. His kids had also taken many moose and caribou with it. I saw nothing wrong with it.

These Winchesters are now bringing about $900 in nice condition, one with pits and in only fair condition such as you describe is sure worth $600 minimum, as the action alone is worth $500.
