a problem for lead shooting.....????

and...added

Mike, First thing to know is whether or not the rifle has had the firing pin alteration done to correct the "unlocked" firing problem. was a warranty repair for a long time, but may not be now,considering the winchester situation. As to use with boolits,no experience,but have not heard anything yeah/nay as to any worse than other gas operated self-feeders. Triggers a well publicized mess sans any easy fix.. I killed a goodly quantity of big game with my 284 when I was so deep in the ratrace that I could either hunt or reload, but not both..when I got the 99F I put it in the rack..would not pay over $300 unless NIB..then I would try to find collector !!

They go for between $400-500 around here in decent shape before deer season, maybe $75-100 less after. I used to load for a friend's .308 m100, it liked Hdy & Sierra 180RN's best. Strange. Never tried cast in it as it was sold before I started doing rifle boolits, and I don't know if they would cause problems in it. It was not as accurate as two m88's my brother owns. Another friend presently has a m100 in .243, and that one is a tack driver - .75MOA with it's favorite load. He won't let me try it with cast. Oh well.... He got it for $400 two summers ago. If it's the older version with the walnut stock and cut checkering, it could go for more, a lot more if it's in good condition and there is collector interest in the area. Hope that's some help.

the tag said factory recall completed.......
they have a 500 tag on it, but its just a starting point...

its 60 miles away, and no rush here, so i'll just wait till the next time i'm up there.

Anywhere near the Adirondack Mts they go for $350.00 on up. Depends on the condition and wood. Those that have them LOVE them. Same with the 88's.

I have a Model 100 in 243 that's the carbine that I'd sell cheaper then that. Tasco 3x9 scope with I believe Redfield base and rings.

These were some of the best examples of a semi auto rifle to come out of the Commercial genius of Winchester. My Gun Traders guide says they were produced from 1961-1973. The calibers were .243, .284, and .308. I saw 2 in 25 years in the shop I worked at. A .243 and a .308. The .308 sold quickley the .243 took a season. My boss a Winchester dealer said tthe 100 was a bolt action on gas. He always had high marks for anything pre-64 Winchester.

I considered buying the gun but already had a Rem 742 in 30-06. I would buy a 100 if a .284 or .308 came by.

They are kind of a pain to take apart. Make sure it has the correct magazine, you really don't want to buy an extra one. Also make sure the barrel is good, I have read somewhere that it is almost impossible to rebarrel these guns correctly.

If they fit you they will feel like a good birdgun in the hands, as long as you don't put a giant scope on it.

Since it is at a pawn shop, I would offer $300 for it and go from there. There is a simple way to tell if it is pre or post 64; unfortunately I can't remember what it is. I believe the .308 was the most common caliber.

308 is the most common caliber I have seen in them.

[jh45gun]

Their triggers are not the greatest and nothing can be done to make them better from what I have heard.

Pre 64 has cut checkering. Post has that stamped "basket weave" griping surface.
