Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Winchester Model 88

I have a chance to buy a winchester Model 88 in .308 Win. The guy wants $500 for it. It looks to be in 90-95% shape. Should I get it?

Get it ! My dad has one , and it shoots great "even with his old $40.00 simmons scope".<P>We were shooting MOA , or better at 200 yards<BR>useing handloaded match ammo that my dad's buddy "that happens to be a gun smith" had given us .<P>Alos they are nice , and light . Sure can tell the differents when I carry my Savage 10 FP W/ the bull barrel , and switch off to the 88 !<P>I don't know , $500.00 sounds a bit steep .<BR>Shot him a deal for $450.00 , and work your way up . If he will take no less than $500.00 , and the rifle is in that good of shap Go For It !<P>Regards: Treeratkiller

Newguy, I had 2 of them, and just sold one of them to a good friend for $400. They are great rifles, make sure it comes with a clip, cause they are hard to find and will cost you between 55.00 - 85.00 bucks. I love the one I still have. So I'd buy it.
