Not looking for appraisals.,257 Feathrweight= $1000, Model 88 .284 about $500-600, Johnson $2000++ depeending on condition, <375H&H Model 70 std rifle = $1500+ as is depending on condition. All prices in Calif/Oregon area .
Not yet. Will have to wait til spring. Beautiful rifle. I am finding the French made some neat stuff.Love the Johnson! Have you shot it yet?
I handled an M88 in .308 recently. It was a beautiful gun, bug the lever action was really, really heavy- easily twice the effort of a M73.
My rarest long gun is probably my M1922, fewer than 20,000 made between 1922 and 1942-View attachment 879929

Oh, sorry, you are probably confusing my M1922 with the similiar-looking French MAS-45 .22, which was a post war version of the Mauser KKW .22.Not yet. Will have to wait til spring. Beautiful rifle. I am finding the French made some neat stuff.
You, sir, are a connisseur of the unusual!I suppose rare is very subjective, but always fun to share. Especially on Christmas Eve with a glass of eggnog in hand.

Very nice. I'm jealous.I've always had a thing for lever guns with straight grip stocks. Especially the Marlins.

These are rare to me. Both the Marlin and Winchester are 1958 production. The same year I was born

This is a more modern version of the Marlin Maurader. I don't have exact production numbers, but the Maurader was made in the 1950's and 60's. This version was only made 1988 and part of 1989. I've seen a couple of photos of others, but mine is the only one I've actually seen in person. It is a 16" 30-30, less than 2000 made.

Marlin made 500 of these in blue, 500 in SS back in 2005. It is essentially the same as the Guide gun, but in 35 Rem. Rifle on the right, the one on the left is my Marlin 44 mag.

That "pre 64" on the left is actually a post 64.Interested in seeing some members rare rifles. The older the better. Some of mine are a pre 64 m70 in 257 roberts. A pre 64 model 88 in .284. An m1941 Johnson. And a pre 64 m70 in .375 h&hView attachment 879915
I thought you were ! That johnson of yours looks good enough I double my first guess to $4000 . The others are accurate. The .284 pre 64 Model 88 is a bit low too, there were not alot made pre 64 and they were quite popular in their day and for good reason as they were very accurate for a lever gun because of the one piece stock , and very smooth quick shuck with a decent trigger. The .257 Featherweight does command more value than some other calibers . The .375 H&H pre 64 is allways desirable and it took me 40 years to find a sweet one that I could afford.Not looking for appraisals.
I stand corrected. You are right.That "pre 64" on the left is actually a post 64.
