Winchester Model 75 value.... Unique

Weckman03
Just wanted to know if any one had any insight on how much this gum might be worth. It was handed down to me from my father who got it from his father, ex. There's plenty of info on Winchester model 75s but I have never seen another one quit like mine.
It has peep sights, Like normal But it has a bull barrel , and most interesting of all, the stock is adorned with diamond shaped ivory Inlays . Any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated...

P.S. I'm not looking to sell; I hope to give this rifle to a son of my own someday.

Here are a few pics....

    Looks like a standard target 75 with "post production" stock work. As such, value would be less than an all original 75, but as a shooter and family heirloom, hard to beat!
    p.s. Welcome to the forum! As to value, you can go to the auction side and see what 75 target guns have been selling for. Around here, it might go for $300 to $400.

    Definately aftermarket work. Nicely done. You could look for an original stock for it if you like. They show up here and elsewhere from time to time. I would not get rid of that stock though because of the family connection. A lot of this done in the day. I have a Remington 513S with some similar inlays. Bought unmodified original stock for it but kept the modified one in the closet.

    Because of the custom work on the stock, and what appears to be nickel plating on various other parts of the rifle. It's more then likely to my way of thinking that the barrel may have been changed out from the standard one that was shipped from Remington WINCHESTER

    I don't understand, Rufe, it looks like a regular Model 75 barrel profile to me. The 75 target model is much more common than the sporter. It has the regular beavertail target stock except as decorated with inlays and nickel plated hardware.

    Besides the cosmetics, the only difference I see is replacement of the fine old Lyman or Redfield micrometer target sight with a simple Williams Guide slide adjustable sight in the tipoff scope grooves. Presence of those tipoff grooves makes it a late production 75.

    Right, Bert?
    Correct as necessary.

    Crazy.... my old single action .22 revolver I bought of a coworker fro $20 is worth more than this rifle... oh well. I'll see if i can find original sights and a stock on here..... thank you all for your help.

    Why would you do that?
    Then it wouldn't be Dad's and Grandpa's rifle any more.

    true... just want to have it on hand... mostly cause i'm a geek like that... what good is having something unless you have parts around to customize it.

    Weckman03,

    You have a fine hand-me-down, there. I would love to have something like that from my dearly-departed forefathers. Enjoy it just the way that it is, and buy yourself another gun to customize. That way, you will have a historically significant heirloom (that someone already spent time, sweat, and money customizing); you will have a different gun that you fixed up to pass down to your kids; and, you will own another gun (you can never have too many!).[:D][;)][:p]
