Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 1961 Steyr Zephyr 22lr

I have 1 in excellent condition and am selling off my gun collection. The only transaction I can find is $2,750 on Guns International. Anyone have any idea what I should ask. In over 55 years of collecting this is the only one I have ever seen and I would like for it to go to a good home.

Around 1960, we were on vacation in NYC and wandered into the now sadly gone gun department at Abercrombie & Fitch. There was one there, full stocked and sweet as can be, I liked it and my dad bought it for me. AC&F had to ship it to us down south as New York's idiotic Sullivan law wouldn't let us walk out the door with it. Cost about $120, new. It developed a mechanical issue and AC&F asked us to ship it back. They gave us a full credit, which we applied to my first center fire rifle--A Winchester Model 70 .30/06.

Haven't seen one since and have no idea what it's worth. I did see a review for a brand new iteration of the Zephyr which is currently available.

Have no idea what your is worth in 2019 dollars.

Should ask over at Rimfirecentral.com

They might know what is worth.


I bought mine 5 years ago for $600.. but the shop did not know what they had.

I see an old one on another popular auction site but it seems to be an odd variation. I say that after only seeing one in my life, also. I bought that one in the 80's missing the magazine for what I thought was a pretty high price. Found a magazine for $125 as I recall. The seller I mentioned has a price of $1,150 on the half-stock he is advertising.
