The pre-War Model 71 long tang Deluxe Models fetch a premium. They are worth considerably more to collectors.
The early Deluxe Models also featured the Win 98A peep
sight integral to the bolt. These rifles were rare as the
transition began to the later 71s about SN 16000.
$3500 plus for those in excellent original condition
with sling and bolt peep-no recoil pad unless the period
1922 patent Winchester solid version.Later postwar 71s will not fetch the prices the earlier long tang Deluxes will.
But there are always those who don't know the difference.

For rarity-try a pre-War 71 Deluxe in 450 Fuller/Alaskan with the JKR (Johnson Kenai Rifles) marking. $4500-$5000
