fabarm gamma boy Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Winchester grand europeans were a winchester 101 the grand european is the grade i think, its also the highest grade they made! The 101s were made in japan! They wer making the 101 starting in the 60s right up until the mid to late 80s! Very very fine guns! High quality and very reliable, only dowside is spare parts can be difficult to find, They say they were the best handling o/u ever built, abd they hold there money well, iv seen pristine 101 grand europeans making over £1500! enjoy your new gun you wont find better!
