They were 30-30s made by Winchester for Sears. Don't really know how they shoot, but they don't really seem to be in too high of demand. Here are two examples up for sale on GunBroker.com:

I'm far from an expert but my Google search came up with 30-30 rifle made by Winchester and pretty much a Winchester New Model 94.
Hopefully someone with actual knowledge will confirm or deny my web search info.
Hope this helps
here's one of the links I looked at... see 'Sears 100'

and here's and excerpt from another page I looked at.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maker Model Caliber Barrel Length Finish Serial Number
Sears Ted Williams Model 100 30-30 19 3/8 InchesV Blue v125xxx
On the left side of the barrel: Ted Williams (this looks like a signature) Model 100*CAL.*30-30 WIN.SEARS ROEBUCK & CO. * NO. 273.532140 * MADE IN U.S.A. on the top of the barrel: GT and SP inside a circle The gun resembles a Winchester Model 94.
How old is this gun and did I pay too much ($60)? Thanks!
Answer:
Brent- You are right, it looks like a Winchester 94 because it is basically just that. It is the "new model 94" made after 1964, but I don't know how much later than that. The big long number is the Sear Roebuck CO catalog number for this gun.
