Like you bsa, I never open my hard cover. My working copy grew legs, but all is well again.

Very good. Too bad about your other one growing legs. Eventually I'll need to replace my soft cover with another one. Although, I have highlighted a lot of stuff in my current one. The binding is not great and some pages are loose!!!

Heck, someone here may want to buy this one:

Roger Rule's The Rifleman's Rifle hard cover 1982 first edition

I'd buy it, but I already have one. This one has very slight damage on one of the corners and it did not sell last time it was listed, so I can see it selling for the starting price or a hair over. Well worth the $200 price tag. Just throwing it out there.. I like the hard cover version more than the soft cover book because the pictures are much better. A good addition to any Winchester model 70 collection IMHO..

Glad I have one already. Didn’t pay that, but the market has changed.

Great book.

A lot of us here probably paid more for their first edition hard cover. Just sayin. I thought about buying that one because the soft cover books are $100.00. It did not get any bids again. Come on guys. I just sent the seller a message, telling him I'd buy it for $200. That is chump change for what that book is worth. I don't really care about the damage on the corner. I'm going to highlight the fugg out of it if he accepts my offer. Just sayin..

Mine is a 1982 Hard Cover in mint condition. I assume 1st ed. as "edition" isn't mentioned.

I see on line, some very expensive ones have a golden rifle across the top of the page over the title. Those go for over a grand.

Mine doesn't have the golden rifle, priced at around $500 or so.

What's the story on the golden rifle edition?

I didn't see your post until just now. The book you are speaking of is the very first limited "Deluxe" edition. They only made 500 of those and they are numbered and signed and also came with a nice sleeve that the book slides into. Probably the ultimate Winchester collectors edition, but sells for over $1,000.00. Hard to find too, I'd imagine. Great question though DF.. The one listed on ebay is a first edition, 1982 copyright. They also had a second edition that was slightly revised, I believe, that came out in 1996. Those second edition books usually sell for around $275, while the first edition demands $450-$500.00...of course with that being said, it all depends on condition. Just like the good ol model 70's. Price is a reflection of condition and originality.

Thanks, bsa.

It’s pretty amazing what those 1st ed books are worth.

I’m glad I have mine. It’s a keeper.

Agreed. It was a shameless purchase.. Hopefully the buyer repents for that dirty deed.

Yeah, getting a 30-06 in that condition for 1200 is a score. A 308, well a horseshoe landed right...

Just caught up here re "Rifleman's Rifle" dimension of this Thread. For me generally, books are vehicles of entertainment/information and especially as repetitive reference. Digitalized versions as available, ever so much handier. Content in arms length reach everywhere my laptop goes! The fact of my fairly competent hard copy as compelling compromise as pre-digital. Even then, as every dollar for a publication, one less for the guns which were the whole purpose of the books!

Not to 'Dis' books including the "collecting of". But I'll continue the "vehicle" approach as conjuring the "collector editions" as maybe cumulatively accounting for one or two rifles. Ones you can read about as ones I own!

Different strokes for different folks... Respectfully!
Best!
