    What, besides a carbine, deluxe model, or obvious condition, makes a Winchester Model 71 lever action 348 a $600 gun or $2000 gun? I looked in the blue book and the bottom dollar on a working 71 is $600 period, and as high as around $2000. I was at a gun show this weekend and I saw two of them from different vendors, one had checkered wood and was $2200, the other had plain wood, but had a recoil pad and polished load ramp/gate for $850.Is ammo still available? How is it on rabbits? (kidding) Is it considered a safari type gun or American big game gun like for moose, elk, or bear?Roy

    Hello Geri,

    Yes, and a few in 45-70 as well, but they were either special ordered during the pre-war years, or they were experimental. Regardless, they are extremely rare.
