Lovely, Scully! They look vey to tidy

That is the thing. Good ones are getting hard to find. I’ve always fancied a Grand European, Lovely looking guns. My mate managed to pick up a mint, almost unused 8500 for £350 so there some bargains about.

I’ve got a 1981 price list and a Grand European was £853. Makes it over £3100 today with inflation

Was indeed. Steve is about 5 mins from me and he’s a brilliant guy to deal with. They had this one and the fc one but they sold that one before they persuaded me into this one.

The only ones I have seen have all been winchoke as well. My mate has just about a 8500 trap which is choked full and X full and shoots very nicely. I’m not sure if any internal changes but the leaflet I have for “the 86 winchesters” basically remarks about the stock dimensions being revised, a big emphasis on balance and handling, the adjustable trigger and the flush rather than extended winchokes.

The deluxe is very nice! Looking at proof marks this one was proofed 1986. I believe they are impossible to date via the serial numbers as most records have been lost, destroyed or not disclosed?

I would have to agree with you there. There doesn’t seem to be a great deal for sell, especially the 6500’s. I know they were not sold for many years. People must have them safely tucked away somewhere? Ladds guns currently have a nice 5500 30” sporter for sale

Thanks for the comments. I sold a 101 and super grade last year and missed having a classic Winchester. This one was new ATA money.

Good evening all, I know there are some avid classic Winchester fans on here so thought I would share my latest purchase here. 30” Winchester 6500 sporter m/c. Very nice gun with superb handling, for me comes up and handles nicer than my g5 725 sporter. Can’t wait to get out and give it a try.

Hi PPP, not sure if you have anybody near yourself that stock these but they are very good for the money, they also do the “special” in 32g fibre #5 for little more. 👍🏻

Lovely little gun, I just don’t use it enough to justify keeping it. Hard to find a good one these days! Pm me if you’d like me to email me more detailed images of it. 👍🏻

Reduced to £750 to make way for a new purchase. I believe these Winchester offer superb value for money, will be sad to see it go!

Hard case has now sold, thanks for the interest!

Good morning, looking for £80 for it. If you pm me your email address I can send photos some more photos later

Hi guys, this is my gun for sale. Also have a period Winchester hard canvas case that I can sell along side. Having a bit of a clear out. Happy to email more detailed pictures across at any time! Many thanks
