« on: December 29, 2006, 06:02:42 PM »
located a win.100 243win.semi auto.in very good condition for 425.00.is this a fair price?dont know if it was serviced by the recall on the firing pin.any other recalls or isues with this model?overall the gun looked very nice on the metal,decent on the wood.action appeared to be excellent,not worn.dont know if its pre 64 or not.was gonna buy it on the spot but thought id research it first.to see if it has problems like the remington autoloaders.wanted  to use it for called in coyotes,occasional 200yd. or less deer hunting.
is their issues with reloading for the gas system on certain powder burn ratings that you need to use?read on another forum that a guy had a problem with the extractor ripping off the rim of cases.he diidnt get a answer on it.
your opinion is welcome on this win.100.thanks

Not sure about the .243, but if it handles anything like the .308 my uncle loaned me for this year... well... see my post on it....in the Winch. forum....

I'd say pick it up too.  I'm not a particular fan of autoloaders, but this one has stricken my fancy.

You can tell if it is a pre 64 by the checkering, if cut it is pre 64 if stamped basket weave it is post 64.
