Howdy all, In the wake of my father's passing last year, i have begun going through his gun collection and sort things into "keep" and "Sell" sets.
well, one of the rifles going on the "Sell pile" is a very nice 90's production Browning that I, so far, can't find enough definitive information to make a proper educated guess as to value. because any money from the sale would go to my mother not me, I don't want to under- or over- value it when I go to sell it. what i KNOW about it are the following.
the only reason dad bought this rifle in the first place was that when he came across it, even though it was of a higher finish grade, it was priced in line with the standard blued/walnut Ruger 77/22 next to it on the rack and he couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a "Pretty" gun without a price hike.
the couple of places I've looked for a valuation so far don't seem to show an A-bolt style rifle in .22LR, all of the "Micro A-Bolts" listed are in centerfire.
Not looking for a value here, just some guidance as to what information, model name, or terms i should be using to narrow my search for one.
thank you for your time

- it's Marked "Browning A-Bolt 22 Caliber .22LR only"
- the action is definitely scaled to .22LR it's not long enough even for .22 Hornet
- based on stock style and finish, the metal finish, and the pictures i can find online, it might be a Medalion grade model
- believe that dad bought it sometime between 1990 and 1997 (most likely '95-97 but can't be sure)
