I just bought a winchester Model 97 (Also known as the 1897) I got it from a friend who needed some extra cash and he sold me the gun for only $125 dollars after checkin the serial number i found out it was made in the Mid 1940s. winchester stoped production of the 97s in 1957. So I believe i got quite a collectors Item. Its in pretty good shape. it has a 30 inch barrel with a full choke

@RedneckGodfather $125 is a great price, they're usually in the $400-600 range.

They're not particularly rare but the "Cowboy Action Shooting" guys usually scoop them up as soon as they hit the market so they're not easy to come by.

You'd think that that would drive the price higher but I've never seen a commercial grade go for more then that.

The 30" full choke barrel is stock original for the civilian model. The military and police models were 20"

can the 97's fire most modern 2 3/4" shells?

[Marcucco]

@m91nagant Yes, you can use 2 3/4 shells in an 1897.

If you measure a 2 3/4" shell, it's actually only 2 1/2".

@Marcucco can you shoot low and high brass?

[Marcucco]

@m91nagant Low brass, high brass, and even full brass.

The full brass make a cool noise when they eject and land.

@Marcucco Thank you very much!

There isn't any difference in accuracy between a lever action and a bolt action rifle.

Not counting external factors like weather and the skill, accuracy is determined by the barrel length and condition, the caliber and shape of the bullet and the powder charge behind it.

Since there's no bolt moving during the discharge, single shots are inherently more accurate then semi-autos.

all the energy of the powder goes into pushing the projectile down the barrel and there's no bolt kicking back.

[MrWhitescarf]

I have never shot a lever action rifle. How accurate is it?
