I picked up a Winchester Model 100 today at a garage sale. The rifle is in 90% condition. It is chambered in .284 Winchester. The S/N is 97,xxx. I think that makes production in 1965. I don't have pics just yet, but could take some and email them. Are the values really as high as I have seen on GB auctions? Incidently, I paid $250 for the rifle with 2 clips, 2 boxes of shells, and a 4x Bushnell scope on Weaver bases and rings. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated![:)][:)][?]

  I posted this same question about a month ago and would like to confirm if the response I received is correct.
  
  I have a Winchester model 100 in .284 caliber. The serial number is 855XX. What is the date of manufacture? I was previously told the manufacure date was 1963, but it has the basket weaving checkering like those made post 63/64. Mine has checkering just like the one in this auction.

  Winchester Model 100 was produced between 1961 and 1973. First calibers were 243 and 308. Later the 284 was added. The 284 caliber was rare and any 100 in 284 and in good condition is a very collectable rifle. Previous poster is correct on date. There was a firing pin recall in 1990. Better check that out!

  Thank you both for the response. I had heard about the recall, but have not checked it out yet.
