While I know that I will most likely never be able to collect Winchesters of the condition and rarity I would like to. I would like a chance to see some of them in person. To this end my son and I have been talking about hitting one or two of the better (for Winchester collectors) gun shows.

Since I work construction mid November to early April is about the only time I could plan to make any sort of trip.

So guys as close to Salem Oregon what are the best gun shows for seeing quality Winchesters?

A little outside of your Nov-Apr timeframe and perhaps too far East, but the annual Colorado Gun Collectors Association (CGCA) show in Denver every May is a great show for Winchesters.

Cody and Vegas are both just under 1000 miles. I can drive that in a day and a 1/4 so no sweat.

Now what time of year are the shows?

Mark,

The Cody show is in July (after the 4th). The Las Vegas show is in January.

Figures I work 6 days a week during construction season and don’t have any money in the winter LOL.

I guess I could plan ahead and sell off some camera equipment from my last hobby around Christmas time to invent some fun money for Vegas.

Heck the Wife likes Vegas she’s been there once with friends and once with our son. I had the good sense to stay home LOL

How about the Big Reno Show (Reno, Nevada). It’s under 500 miles from Salem, OR. It’s held every November, April, and August, and there are always some nice Winchesters there.
