I thought that I would post this here. I do find it interesting, and like most, it helps us to keep a eye on what these can go for in today’s market.

No horse in this race.

Interesting. I struggled to sell a very nice post-war 71 earlier this year for considerably less.

And Mike’s has a bolt peep, too, in addition to very high condition. It sat in front of us at Cody all day long so I can vouch for it. Go figure, but that’s how auctions go. Sometimes but not always, as I can also testify!

Am I incorrect in thinking that Winchester called these a Special rather than a Deluxe ? 

Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

You’ll see “deluxe” used mostly as a collector’s or colloquial term for such rifles. THe non-deluxe many of us call “plain”…something Winchester would have NEVER used. Laugh

Winchester never used the term “Deluxe” to describe their higher grade rifles.  For the early models, the term “Fancy” Sporting Rifle was used. In later years, (during the 1930s), the names were changed to “Deer Rifle” (Model 64), and “Special” for that Models 65, 71, and 43.
