your Winchester model 23 pigeon grade is worth 2300 in new unfired condition.You can add a 20% premium to this amount because it is in 20ga.
Your Winchester model 23 XTR pigeon grade shotgun will range in value from 900-1,600 dollars,based on your shotgun having between 60%-90% of its original finish remaining and a good set of bores.
This question would be better addressed if directed to Winchester directly.
if your Winchester shotgun is the lightweight field model then it is valued at 1250.00 for one in 70% condition up to 2,000 for one in 98%condition.
I'm not sure what happened to the 2 questions I posted. The first question was "Does XTR and Pigeon Grade mean the same thing in regards to a Winchester 101 U/O shotgun?". The second question was "What does XTR stand for in regards to a Winchester 101 U/O shotgun" Somehow they both seem to have merged into the above modified question...... The reason for these two original questions is that I have a 1977 Pigeon Grade Winchester 101 12G Trap shotgun with 30" barrels and a Monte Carlo butt stock. I am looking to buy another 101 from a member of my local club. He says that his gun is a XTR 101 Trap bought new in 1986 making it one of the very last 101's. He says that XTR and Pigeon Grade mean the same thing. I've heard that they don't. I haven't seen the gun yet but I want to know what I'm talking about before I look at it. Can someone help me with as much info as possible....Thanks. Brett. (Australia)
You will need to find catalogs from that era

Model 301 is unfamiliar. No record is found with that number. There is however a Winchester model 101, and it was made in the Pigeon Grade. The model 101 is an Over/under design and was made in several different configurations.
Marksmen use a shotgun for clay pigeon shooting. All types of shotguns are used including single-shot, semi-automatic and pump. The type of shotgun used is really a personal preference.
It's a high grade shotgun that is a Galkery Gun - hand engraved signed by Artist - very expensive
