Winchester Model 100 .284

Uintah
I am considering a trade for a Winchester Model 100 rifle in .284. This rifle is in 95% + original condition and is all original. Stock is original length and is checkered. I know that the checkered 100's in .284 are uncommon, but also know they do not have the following of the model 88's. Any information on the collectibility of this model and configuration and estimates on value range would be appreciated. I have a greater interest in the Model 88 myself and have seen the rare calibers; .284 and .358 raise substantially in value over the last 5 years. Could the model 100's in the rarer configurations eventually follow suite? Also does anyone know if Winchester still has the model 100 firing pin recall available? Thank you for any replies.

    I have a Winchester Model 100 in .284. I was told that it was special ordered by an employee (relative). It has an absolutely beautiful walnut stock and jewled bolt (pressed checkering). Did Winchester makes these with the Walnut stock or were they only available special order? Thank you!

    Actually, checkered stocks on the Model 100 were very common. What wasn't common, were the pre-64 rifles with cut checkering versus the later made rifles with basket weave pressed checkering. What is the serial number on the Rifle you are looking at? There is a substantial premium for a pre-64 .284 Win. Production ran from 1961 - 1973, with the .284 chambering discontinued in 1970.

    Thank you for your reply. This rifle has the cut checkering stock, as opposed to the basket weave press. The serial # is 72xxx. I believe the 100 .284 in this configuration was made only from 1963 to the end of 1964?

    More like 1961 through the end of 1963, and if that has a 72,000 serial number on it, it was made in 1963.

    Thanks Bert for the information,

    Would you care to speculate its approximate value and if you think the 100's like this one would be a decent investment for future collectibility?
    I have seen alot of 100's on the auction but have not seen a similiar pre-64 .284 unaltered, to gain an idea of value.

    It is likely to be worth in the $600 range. Can't really say on the future "collectability" of it, but it does have the right name on it... "Winchester". As of this point and time in the history of "Sporting" firearms, there are not many semi-autos rifles that can classified as true "collector's" guns, let alone a modern one. Those that immediately come to mind, are the Winchester Model 1903, 1905, 1907, and 1910, and the Remington Model 8. I'm sure that there might be a few others of interest.
