Your gun was made in 1960. It depends on the barrel length and with or without rib. Specifications from Browning in the 1960 catalog states the following: 26" plain barrel 7lbs 1oz / 26" Vent Rib barrel 7lbs 7oz 28" plain barrel 7lbs 5oz / 26" Vent Rib barrel 7lbs 9oz 30" plain barrel 7lbs 7oz / 26" Vent Rib barrel 7lbs 11oz

The Winchester model 1894 rifle was never made with a vent rib barrel! the only Winchester made firearms with a vent rib barrel was Winchester shotguns.
Plain barrel, solid rib, or ventilated rib? Condition? Plain barrel in 60% condition lists for $365. Vent rib in 100% is $1495. Manufactured in 1957.
A rib is a raised strip of metal that runs the length of the top of the barrel. A ventilated rib is not solid, but has slots beneath the solid strip.
That would depend on the type of barrel with the shotgun(plain,matte solid rib,or vent rib barrel)if a poly choke is present on the end of the barrel,and what condition the shotgun is in.
325-375 dollars for a gun with a plain barrel.375-450 dollars for a gun with the matte rib(solid) barrel,and 475-550 dollars for the model with a vent rib barrel.
The vent rib breaks up the heat waves that rise from a hot barrel which interfere with sighting.
