A good friend passed away earlier in the year, and his firearms were passed on to me to sell. I made a similar post about a couple of rifles, but the last gun I'd like an idea of value for is this Winchester Model 2200. 30" fixed full choke barrel. Overall condition is good, but with a bit of the finish coming off of the stock.

Any opinions are appreciated :)

Appreciate the input. I was under the impression that it wasn't worth a ton, but good to have a bunch of estimates in the same ballpark.

Thanks :)
 
I got one in the EE for $275 shipped for a couple weeks now. I've had bites but no takers. Mine has nicer wood and two barrels including a wnchoke barrel. I think you'll be hard pressed to get $200 for yours.

Tbh they are nice guns and very undervalued IMHO. They make a great backup gun that you don't mind loaning out. For the little money you'd get you should consider keeping it.
 
I got one for my son a while back for 230 bucks (shipped)...had two barrels also...95% shape. I also think they're undervalued...but the masses say different...lol
 
I've got one, that is as new in the box as they come. 5 rounds down the pipe more than 15 yrs. ago and been in the safe ever since. One owner gun , wood without a mark and bluing unmarked. Not going to sell mine as I too say they are under priced.

The question is, who is buying it though.

A fixed full choke is something no one wants anymore. Too tight for steel shot and a poor choice for upland birds.
There is no collector market for these guns, even old model 12s are a tough sell.
That 2 3/4 chamber isn't wanted anymore either, especially increase 3 inch guns are available new for a few hundred dollars more.

Theyre undervalued in that you may get a workable gun for little money, but it's also a gun without a market.

Steel in full choke isn't a huge deal IMHO if no larger than #4s - which are great for ducks and plenty for decoying geese (trust me on that one)
2 3/4 chamber is just fine. If a 3" was available for $50 more then sure but I've killed plenty of geese & ducks with 2 3/4". A few hundred dollars more, fuggetaboutit.
And let's not forget the speedpump. That is a sweet feature.
Fixed full choke works great for trap. These guns bust clays as good if not better than 95% of the guns on the line.
I will agree no collector value but great value nonetheless.

Short answer - The market is trap shooters / hunters / livestock and property protection on a budget who desire value over bells and whistles. Unfortunately gunnutz seem to like shiny things so something as hohum as a gun that just works often doesn't turn heads on the EE.

I still don't see the value, especially when you can buy a winchester sxp for $400.

For thoseveral few hundred extra dollars, you get so much more in a brand new package. You can shoot whatever shells you want without having to sacrifice anything.

I can't believe any serious trap shooters is using a field grade winchester 1200.

There is a reason old fixed choke guns get dusty on gun show tables, no one wants them anymore. Especially not clunkers like 1200s.
 
To me, a fixed modified choke will do everything you pretty much need to do unless maybe you are shooting specialty sports such as trap or skeet and in those cases, most serious shooters are buying guns that are specific to the discipline.

When you're looking through older guns though, you have to sort through many fixed full before you find a modified though.
 
For what I need in the Northern Saskatchewan bush where upland birds are plentiful my Winny 's with Callenger 2/34 #8 works just fine. It may be a firearm without a following or a market anymore , but it still is a useable smooth operating slide firearm. The safe queen I have is for looks, the other two are the tools I use to harvest those ruffies. We get along just fine, no need to be shiny or expensive.

Yes and no.
Depends what you want to do with it. If you want it as a do all goose gun or to play skeet with, no.
Tractor gun, or something to shoot tight patterns of lead, it'll do fine.
