Real-world, around $300-$350, although I've seen asking prices run $100 to $200 more at gunshows.

Oh to see one for a mere $550 at a gunshow in Northern Virginia...
Tack on ANOTHER $300 to that figure, Art.

WOW! I guess it depends on where you are. A year or so back, I saw one at an Odessa gunshow for an asking price of $575, but I thought a lot of stuff on his table was overpriced. I "sorta recall" another one at around $475, but it was still on his table late on Sunday afternoon...
Thanks for the update.

In Northern Virginia, they all seem to run around the same price, regardless of condition or caliber... Go figure.

Hey Guys:
New guy here.
warrior23 a 100 in .284 should bring a premium price.
t wane It would be a good idea to shoot before you buy
if you can. I have owned three 100's and fooled with
five or six more and none of them shot worth a flip
accuracy wise. It is a very poor design for that.

another bit of "M-100 advice" is to make SURE that there is a gunsmith willing to work on the gun in your area, this is a C.Y.A. move in case something goes south, there are more parts in this things safety than many similar guns have overall! also winchester (USRAC) won't sell parts for them any more, the complexity (they've been out of production for how long? and folks are STILL find new ways one can cease to work) plus the need to "quest" for certain common parts has lead most gunsmiths i've spoken with to swear them off completely.
how do i come by this tidbit, i inherited my grandfather's M-100 in .308, prior to it's arival (knowing that some 'smiths are picky about what they work on) i checked around to see who would work on it if something went wrong. i just THOUGHT i knew what the evil eye was.....
don't get me wrong i know folks who LOVE their Wichester Mod. 100's but i think it is better to make sure you have an outlet for repair if the gun DOES break and never need that service, than to have it break and have to hunt a willing and competent smith after the fact.
