Buy recommendations Winchester 1894

I’ve always wanted to get a Winchester 1894 after my dads was stolen when I was a kid and I just was looking for tips or opinions on the rifle. My main concern is how the action works. We go out in all sorts of weather for ranching and I’m worried that since the action opens the top and bottom it’ll get damaged from water, dust, and mud. Everyone’s told me that theirs have never let them down but I just want more unbiased opinions. Thanks everyone for reading.

1894 is a pretty great gun, pretty reliable and don’t need much maintenance. Just keep it clean and the action closed when out and it should be fine.

Also, just a heads up some of the older ones have floppy triggers, they work fine but some people don’t like it.
