Take a look at the Howa1500 superlite. 20” barrel, threaded barrel, 4pounds 7 ounces, .243, 7mm-08, 308, 6.5 CM. Multiple reviews favorable. $900 at Brownells!!

Ridge, I was interested in the new superlite configuration that weighs 4 lbs. 7ozs. and has a threaded muzzle! Yours is definitely tempting!

Crickets????

RR, curious if it is the “superlite”configuration that came out recently and has the threaded muzzle and cap?

Hi RR. Is that the one that weighs 4 lbs. 7 oz. and has the capped threaded muzzle? If I may ask, reason for selling and any problems with it? Thanks.

Regarding judging and scoring, “always” consider mass over length! Good luck!

Times Two. God Bless You All!

ElkA, Good starting point. Will only increase in value over time and based on evaluation of being an “irreplaceable configuration and value could easily go crazy in a well attended auction”. Happy Easter to all!

I agree. If only they could talk!

Yes. The appraisal is for my specific rifle.

ElkA et.al. Thank-you all! Appraisal “Irreplaceable”: 22-24k!

Lik2hnt, just contacted the appraiser regarding his permission to provide his contact info. I will either post it here for all interested or individual mail depending upon his reply to me. Keep you posted as I hear back from him.

ElkA et. al. I have just submitted an array of pictures to the appraiser for his review and once I hear back regarding his assessment, I will definitely let you all know. No problem. Thanks to all.

Found an expert, nationally recognized pre-64 lever action rifle Winchester appraiser. He is a board member of the Winchester Arms Collector Association (WACA) and co-author of The Red Book of Winchester Values, 4th Edition, April 2016. His name is Mr. Hartman and I can provide you his contact...

Feddkc, I’m with yuu!

Good, glad to hear. You obviously had all your bases covered! Again, awesome hunt and critters!!!!

Awesome hunt and bucks. With all that chile, curious how many incidents of “Monty’s Revenge” experienced, 🤔?

Definitely new on the market. Actually comes in .243, 7mm-08, 6.5 CM and .308. I will wait a little longer to see if the ejector problem persists and gets rectified if it is a problem. .

Little Bighorn. All the many reviews both verbal and You Tube I have researched, are very positive for a 20” barrel and 4 lb. 7 oz. configuration. You might want to download the You Tube review Ron Spomer just put out! He reviews a 6.5 Creedmoor and gave it a glowing review. Even went as far as...

Point well taken. Totally agree with you, however, the issue I am faced with is in determining an actual monetary value that I can actually submit in hard copy to an insurance carrier. They demand an actual monetary figure and not a verbal appraisal (i.e., w/o any specific dollar amount) in...

Yote, you have some nice collectible “Silvertip” ammunition. Assume they still have the full 20 cartridge component? Especially the grizzly bear icon. Would really bring a bigger premium than they already will however, still worth a premium. Hold into them! Toklat, (Grizzly).

You are most welcome. I took the liberty to mention their names as they are best, period. I am confident they are fine with my referencing them as they are always ready to assist and based upon my interactions with them. I mentioned them based upon their respective reviews of the rifle’s rarity...

Hi Jg82, really appreciate your recommendation. Ironic you should mention Burt! Burt is one of several bona fide Winchester experts bar none all Winchester Arms Collector Association (WACA) members (of which I am a member) flock to for advice. He was gracious and instrumental along with another...

DeerHunter53, Check out: Pre64 Winchester.com You should find the 257 Roberts you are looking for and more. If they don’t have it in stock at the time, they should be able to find one!

Anyone bought one recently? 20” barrel and weighs 4 lbs. 7 oz. What are your thoughts? Understand it is prone to problems with complete ejection of spent cartridges?

They are out there. Expensive for a good original one. Do multiple searches on the net for that specific configuration. I have definitely seen them.

ElkA thanks for posting pics. Tikka thanks for your assistance as well. Tikka, all those long barreled Winchester “rifles” do in fact also have a metal rounded fore-end caps. Difference is, 20” carbines do not. Short barreled rifles (SBRs) such as this with a 14” barrel (shorter than standard...

No problem. 😎 I just reached out to Founder and hopefully he can post pictures for me! He has been very helpful in the past. Keep you posted. Thanks all!

PS Another misnomer on this rifle, it is not a half round, half octagon barrel either. It is accurately identified as a part round, part octagon barrel as both round and octagon barrel lengths are not equal in length. Full length barreled rifles were manufactured with full octagon and half...

Elk A, All. You are correct. It is a an SBR (Short Barrel Rifle). Trapper is not an official name for them but that term is often used. SBRs are essentially standard 20” carbines that were manufactured with barrel lengths shorter than 20”. Barrel lengths offered were 12, 14, 15,16 and 18” in...

Tikka, date of manufacture 01/22/1912! Not 22! My mistake! My apology. Thanks.

Your rifle was manufactured around 1902 as per the website on the net: When Was My Winchester Made”. Just scroll down to Model 1894 and reference your serial number. You have at least two special features on your rifle being a takedown and having an octagon barrel. The wood looks really...

Tikka, thanks. Send me your e-mail if fine by you to me and I will send you pictures. I have trouble uploading pics and PMs on the forum! My e-Mail is: [email protected] I can send you my phone contact info for texts as you deem necessary as well. I will send the pics to your address. Might ask...

Elk A, DavidD, thnx for your responses, I have previously checked with both sources mentioned. Cabela’s lowballed even Fjestad Blue Book values and would offer 70% of max value. They had also never seen such a configuration! I have not seen a comparable configuration on either Gun Broker or...

Looking for recommendations and contact information for expert appraisals of older Winchester lever action rifles.

Wanted, recommendation and contact information for an expert appraisal of older Winchester lever action rifles.

DeerHunter, enjoy that special Model 70!!!!!

I’m not talking further about him shooting his rifle or not. That discussion has passed. That penetration has obviously bypassed you. There is a big difference between a used and new firearm. Condition of lands, groves, rifling, condition of stock, bluing, wear, scratches, etc. You are doubling...

You don’t need to wait regarding how many rifles have ever been fired or not! How can you prove any of those guns on Gun Broker or anywhere for that matter have actually not been shot? There is “no such thing” as a rifle Never having been shot at least once! As stated before, they Have been...
