:)Shoot it, I have a (eat yer heart out) model 88 carbine in 284, it is worth about 1200-1500 I hear.

Yup.  Cherish it!  I think they only made like, 200 of them in .284.  Talk about "Hen's Teeth"!

Hmmm..... never found much use for hen's teeth.  But I did find a .284 in my gun safe.  I knew I owned a .284 that kicked like a mule and never got shot again.  Then I saw this thread and decided to go look at it to see if it was a Winchester.  Sure enough, I also own a .284 Model 88.  Being a collector of fine guns is not a goal of mine, so I may get rid of the thing since somebody seems to think it's worth that stinking much.  I'd have given somebody half that much to shoot it 10 times in a row  :chuckle: .

I would hold onto that one Todd!

If you guys remember First Blood when the guy is shooting at Rambo out of the helicopter, he is shooting a model 88.   :)

I was given my Great Grandfather's Model 88 .243 after researching the serial #'s I found out it was made in '58.  I shoot Federal 100 grain Nosler Partitions and the gun shoots damn near flat at 100yds, kicks like a mule, but is a tack driver. I recently put a new Redfield Revolution 3x9 40mm on it and it is now my go to gun for deer. Love the short, quick action of the lever too!
