Jay,Hmmm. A quick perusal of Gunbroker using "Winchester 67" as the search terms yields two pages, with values ranging generally between $150 and $250. The same search on GunsAmerica has fewer hits with the price range slightly higher. Basically, if it's in good shape, it's worth about $200 from what I can see. A new Crickett sells for about $175 - $200 for reference. I think the higher end prices come from the significantly rarer smoothbore versions, FWIW.
Someone at work has a rifle they are willing to sell. Got it when his grandfather passed away...he doesn't shoot..his wife is dead set against guns in the house... currently its at his parents home in Maryland.
Its a Winchester model 67, .22 cal, single shot bolt action. Has the plunger that you pull back (on the rear of the bolt) to cock it.
From the pictures I've seen of it, it looks to be in very good to excellent condition. Saw a few close-ups of the breech...no rust, blueing is still holding up well on it. Walnut stock.
I did a web search, but prices seem to be all over the place, from 175 all the way up to 1500 for a pristine example...
Would you know, or do you know someone who would know, what a fair price for these things are in general?
Thanks!!
Dennis
But now comes the tricky part: What's it worth to you? It doesn't sound like this person is a gun person, nor has any interest in keeping the gun at all. They may want to simply get rid of it, in which case I'd advise offering an even $100 for it - feel free to link a couple of the Gunbroker listings for under-$100 model 67s. Single-shot .22LR rifles have a very limited appeal - they very quickly get outgrown - and you can get a new rifle for not much more.
Now, if you've got your heart set on it, then really, you're not asking how much it's worth, you're really asking "how much is it worth to me?" In which case, only one person can answer that question for you, and he'll be staring at you in the mirror the next time you have a head call... If it's a matter of picking up a training gun for new (young) shooters, I wouldn't spend more than $150 - any more than that and I'd recommend a new Crickett or Henry. If it appeals to you because you had a model 67 growing up, then the price is whatever you're willing to pay to recapture a portion of your youth.
In any case, if anyone else has any thoughts on a fair market value for a Winchester model 67, we're all ears!
That is all.

I just happen to have the 30th Edition Blue Book of Gun Values here, Jay...
Model 67: .22s, L, LR or .22WRF. Came in 20" (Boy's Rifle), 24" (miniature target boring) and 27" (sporting or smooth boer_ round barrels, same basic action as teh Model 60, not serial numbered. 383,000 mfg. between 1934 and 1963.
100% - $275
98% - $235
95% - $200
90% - $150
80% - $120
70% - $90
60% - $80
Add 30% for Boys rifle and 100%-150% for smoothbore, depending on condition.
Of course, as you point out, Jay, what's it worth to your correspondent is key to what he should offer.
I'm with you Jay, I'd offer $100.00 for it in order to save it for my kids/neice/nephews but if Dennis has no one to pass it on to, he might want to think about spending the money on something else.
If it's in fine condition, $200 is fair. You're right, it's so subjective, and what you're willing to pay vs. what he wants to get is more complicated when you're good friends with the guy.

I paid $80 for a 90+% for a Winchester 67A rifle in 2006.
However, that was four years ago and it was in Indiana, where the market is saturated in guns.
HTH
Shootin' Buddy

WV: conduce--similar to "induce", however instead of convincing with evidence, it's convincing with decepetion.
