The Red Book of Winchester Values, 3rd. edition:

90% condition: $2,100.00

98-100% condition: $3,000.00

I'd strongly suggest posting numerous photos of all angles of the rifle, if your intention is to sell it here on the fire. I don't buy into this bs about rifles being "99% condition" until I see them, generally in person is best for full appraisal.


Thanks, and the owner knows that he would have to show the rifle and have it photographed well before anyone spent that kind of money on such a rifle.

Eric has become an aquaintance of mine largely by being one of the first responders when my wife has needed an ambulance for me here. Heck of a way to make a new freind! But what the heck, one of my emergency room Dr's happened to need some 416 Rigby ammo for a cape buffalo Safari last summer, and it was with ammo that I loaded up and supplied that he and his brother took nice Cape buff bulls with laugh



We'd only be speculating and wild azzed guessing without some good pictures. As far as GB "being a bit over real market value", bull chit: Market value is based on any kind of sale: Internet or otherwise. If a particular rifle sells for $3,000.00 on an internet auction site, that rifle is worth that much on that particular day. No ifs and or buts about it. Now, "fair market value" is an entirely different subject..
