What is the value of a Winchester model 71 serial number 5948 value?

Answer 1

Your winchester model 71 which was made in the first full year of production 1936 is valued in two ways.First is if you have a standard model which does not have any checkering and sling swivels.These are valued at 650 dollars for a model with only 10% original finish remaining.All the way up to 1,800 dollars for a fine example with 90% original finish remaining.If you have the deluxe model which will have the checkering and sling swivels,and a bolt peep sight will bring 800-3,350 dollars based on the previous mentioned percentages.You may also add 30%-40% to the above listed price due to the fact that yours is a early model with the long tang.I would have this rifle evaluated by a member of the winchester collectors assoc.to get a accurate value to such a fine rifle.Good luck.
