I purchased this Rifle and Scope new in about 1980? It's a Weatherby Mark XXII. It also has a Weatherby 4x50 Scope that was an option at the time. It has a selector lever to shoot in single fire or semi-auto. Current value Cabelas and Gunbroker rifle only $600.00-$800.00. There is currently a scope on Gunbroker for $325.00.

As far as the value, I've done some checking on various sites. I have the standard model (no checkering or etching and it isn't the police model with the 20 round magazine) so she's worth about $400 - 500.

My great, great uncle gave it to me for bringing him firewood all summer when I was 16. He bought it used in 1915.
Can't find any shells for it at a reasonable price now.

i haven't done the research on it and don't know what year it is or what it's worth but its in immaculate shape and it'll never go anywhere, so not too concerned on it's value. it has "smokeless powder only" engraved on the barrel. i'll post up some pics when i can.

I have my dad's old Rem. 760 in .300 Sav. It has a 5 digit serial # that dates it to the 1st year of manufacture. I have refinished it, blue and wood, because it is a sentimental gun, not something worth a lot of money, as he shot the heck out of it, and killed a chit pot full of game.
I bet that Tootsie Roll (forearm) rifle is a shooter! I love those pumps!
I have a 1955 760 Gamemaster .30-06 ADL (5 diamond forearm) that is brand new! Was sitting in a closet in Pennsylvania for 55 years! I put a new scope on it and it' my main deer rifle now.

Still shoots less than an inch group even with factory ammo. And it gets shot once a year, whether it needs it or not.. :chuckle: I also have my mom's gun, same as yours, except in .300 Sav. as well.
It has the old Weaver tip off scope mounts. They are pretty cool, if your scope fogs up, you just flip the scope and rings off to the side, and shoot iron sights.

My uncle has a '58 760 in 270 and i have seen him make some incredible shots. it has these weird quick detach scope mounts so you can take the scope off in the thick stuff put it in your pocket and then put it back on. He said they are leupold mounts that he bought in either '62 or '63 when he bought the leupold 2 x 7 that is still on the gun. i didn't think they would work but he even did it for me one day and that thing was still dialed after pulling it off and putting it back on.

I've got a Stevens "long Tom" 12 guage shotgun that is a single shot, break action with a 40" barrel. Yeah, that's what I said, a 40" barrel. I'll find a pic when I get home.
Damn. Does it fit in a safe?
Post by: HUNT on July 23, 2009, 07:24:26 PM
My dad gave this to me about 20 years ago. There is no model number on it... I contacted Smith & Wesson to ask them about it and gave them the serial number. They told me it was a prototype gun. .357 magnum on a 44 frame. Looks similar to the model 27 and 28. There is an S before the serial number. Apparently that means something but I can't remember.

tlbradford nice guns!!! Those browning 22's are bringing $600.00.
Thanks Slider. Mine probably wouldn't get that much, but I take good care of it. It has got to have at least a 100,000 rounds through it. It was great to learn on for me since they are so small. I love that little gun and can't wait to get my daughter out shooting it in the next year or so. I love that it breaks in half with no tools so you can shove it in a small back pack when hiking, just in case you come across some blues.

I have dad's Colt 1911 'Service Model' ACE. Fully functional .22rimfire. Circa 1931 (? Can't remember) This gun does not have armory stampings, so we believe it to have been issued to an officer of that era. A good friend of dad's gave it to him as a gift. (I need more friends like dad had!)
I have dreams of having Turnbull Enterprises restoring it some day.

I still have the first gun in my life at 6 years old my dad bought for me a Stevens single shot 410.
I have had it now for 63 years. He bought it in a hock shop in 1946 for $10.00 and then paid a gunsmith $10.00 to recut the chamber for 3" shells it was only for 2.5" shells. I had it nickel plated in 1960.
it still has the orginal very beautiful walnut stock on it.

Winchester 1897 12 gauge pump shotgun. My dad gave it to me, says it was my grandfather's. I checked the serial numbers and it was produced in 1899. The year before my grandfather was born, so maybe his father's? Might take it to Cabela's and see what they have to say about it. Didn't say I wanted to sell it.

Took an old rifle in the other day to see about pricing and they will (on a good day) give you no more than 70% of the retail value. At least that's what the old feller told me. There is a younger guy that works in there that will nickel and dime you big time. I brought in an old Winchester 12 gauge from the early 40's (estimated value $450) and he said he would only give me $75. When I asked him how that is considering he was selling the same shotgun for $325 which is in far worse condition than mine he replied with "that must be some mistake I would never...." I interupted him and said "be caught ripping people off? He smirked and shrugged his shoulders. If you're looking to get a good value out of your rifle, shotgun, or pistol take it to one of your local gun shops who isn't there to rip off your average joe. just my thoughts on Cabelas.you hit the nail on the head, and their used guns are a joke. i'm not gonna pay $500 for a beat up mid 80s remington 700BDL!
