Winchester 1967 Centennial 30/30 w/Octagon Barrel market Value

[krazy]

Hi there,

Trying to determine fair market value for a Winchester 1967 Canadian Centennial rifle in 30-30 with octagon barrel. Said rifle was purchased new, has had only a couple shots fired through it, and has since sat in the original box with all paperwork. Any help with pricing would be appreciated.

Thank you

Not a Downer Debby...but I'm pretty sure any value it had was gone when it was fired. They don't command much $$$ anyhow.
Sorry

I have no great expectations, just trying to determine it's worth. What does the "$$$" in "they don't command much $$$ anyhow" translate to?

Well they sure as heck aren't going to command any more value than a good version of a Winchester 1894

To get premium value, it needs to be in new condition, shouldn’t be fired, and be in the original box with documents.

It's in new condition, in it's original box with papers, and I only think it's been fired. If it hasn't been fired what is this premium value it would be worth? As opposed to if it has been fired but is still in excellent condition, with box and papers?

In my area a nice, unmarked one goes in the 6-700ish range. Having the box & papers helps a bit on price.
I had one years back that was an accurate bugger, but I wasn't impressed by the stamped sheet metal cartridge lifter fitted on 'er.

My rifle came from my great uncle's estate a couple of years ago. I had it appraised, good condition $300.

I purchased two fired one in the EE. First $700 shipped ( last year ) and she have seen many rounds.
The second $850 shipped. The second one as been shot a few time. No box or paper.

To have some value..they need to be new -unfired- in original box with all paperwork. That what collector look for, but even then, you will get around a $1000 , maybe a bit more for the right guy.

Not too many US guys have an interest in a Canadian 1867 commemoratives..so collector market for those is very very small.

My guess is that Winchester at the time, made the Commemoratives good looking but skipped on the fit - finish of internal parts. Maybe the thinking is that they will be looked at, more than used as shooter. The 1867 wear a few post 64 stamped parts but those work fine so far. Actions are not smooth. Hopefully with time, as they wear, they will be better.

Barrel are so so in specs..one is .310 and the other .311
Hard to get good accuracy with .308 jacketed bullet. I use cast. The bore of those and others I have looked at with a borescope - all show many machining marks that I would consider defects in modern barrel.

At the end, they shoot well with cast if you take the time to develop load for it. What I like of the Canadian Centennial is the 26 inches octagonal barrel..look good and it is different of the boatload of 20 inches 1894.
