Which platform would be considered a better overall desireable collectable and investment return in the future?

1. 1892 25-20 20″ SRC in 80% (No other special features)

2. Model 64 25-35 Pre-war carbine in 80% (Not Deluxe Model or other special features)

Richard,

The Model 64 20-inch barrel “carbine” in 25-35 is by far the rarer and valuable Winchester as compared to an 1892 SRC in 25-20 WCF.

Richard,

Even though I am a fan of the Model 1892’s I would have to bet that the comparative “rarity” of the Model 64 carbine in 25-35 would be a better investment over time.  There are just LOTS more 1892 carbines out there.

Bert, Michael, thank-you both for your respective recommendations.

Kind of thought so but always best to hear it from the experts!

Always appreciate your collective expertise and insight regarding Winchester rifles. Again, thank-you both for being responsive to my numerous inquiries in the past and others I am sure, to come.
