The Winchester Model 94 is just as good at killing deer today as it was 50 years ago! The deer don't know that some people consider it obsolete! The deer have not developed an immunity to the 30 caliber bullet! For shooting deer out to 100 yards or so, it does the job. Use the new Hornaday bullets and you can extend the effective range way past 100 yards. The important thing to remember is that the rifle was never intended to be a 500 yard hunting rifle. It was made to be a fast handling short to medium range hunting rifle. Even today, their are few, if any rifle that feels so comfortable and easy to carry, swing, acquire a sight picture and shoot at a target! Use the Winchester 94 for the type of hunting it was designed for and it is still effective and deadly.
