A model 12 C produced in 1911 has a nice collector value today based on model, condition etc. What rifle produced in todays market will be a collectors item in a 100 years?
 
Anything that lasts 100 years in firing condition will be valuable regardless of what it is and what it shoots.

There are a number of reasons something would hold more value over something mass produced or very common. Here are a couple but there are tons

1) Have historical significance (1911, etc)
2) Battlefield firearm (Enfield, Garand, etc)
3) Uncommon caliber (limited production rifles)

Heck a Ruger 10/22 which has got to be one of the most common firearms on the planet, it would hold some good coin 100 years from now if it lasted that long
 
I just hope my great great grandkids will have a PLACE to hunt,thats not behind a high wire fence....and I hope my great great grandkids will be reloading shells for their 6.5x55 swede that their great great grandad hunted deer with-that could have been carried by HIS grandfather
 
I think traditional (blued steel/walnut stocks) will trump everything else, but condition...as always...will play a huge role. CZs with exceptional wood, Anschutz, Kimber, Winchester and Marlin levers, etc. The plastic-stocked Savages that I seem to shoot so much~I doubt it. I don't buy guns to collect them, but it has crossed my mind when shopping for budget rimfires.
 
Likely the things that make 100 year old pieces valuable now, will not change 100 years from now. My guess is most will be prohibited and have little value.

Heck we may be Chinada ( Chine-uh-duh) by then speaking Cheengrish
