MY UNCLE (IN-LAW) SAYS HE HAS A WINCHESTER MODEL 94 BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 1966 IN 30-30 WITH A GOLD PLATED RECIEVER? SAYS IT'S AN ANNIVERSARY MODEL. 72 YEAR ANNIVERSARY? NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A RIFLE AND CAN'T FIND IT IN THE BLUE BOOK EITHER. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY INFO?

Grimjim,
The Winchester Centennial '66 rifle was made in 1966 to commemorate the 100 th anniversary of the Winchester brand. Although made for only one year, they made a LOT of them and value is not up there with some other commemoratrives.

They did indeed make alot of them, I got one last summer in new/unfired condition with the box and sleeve, (sleeves a little ratty), off a local guy for 300$. I checked them out on Gunbroker, and found a few selling for 600-700$. I understand since their closing, Winchesters seem to be selling for ridiculous amounts currently. If he's thinking of unloading it, now might be the best time ever.
