So, I am reading and older book on predator hunting (Hunting Predators: For Hides and Profit, by Wilf E. Pyle, published 1985). In the text, there was a reference to and a photo of a rifle called the Winchester Model 100. I am a fan of traditionally styled autoloaders and classic hunting rifles, so it stood out. Doing a bit of google-age, I found information on said. It appears to have been produced in the 60s in .243, .284, and .308 Winchester. The version in .243 Winchester is interesting to me as a varmint rifle. A cursory glance at the auction sites show that they can be had at reasonable rates. Magazines, however, are very expensive, though, one wouldn't need very many.
Anyone have experience with these rifles? How are they? What is a reasonable price, circa Q4 2017, for one of these? Out of curiosity, anyone run the .284 cartridge and, if so, how do you like it?
Thanks all!
