$150 on a good day. Bolt action shotguns aren't all that popular.
The only Ranger 101.4s I've seen were shotguns, all chambered in .410 gauge.
It is .22 caliber- gauge refers to shotguns. In very good condition, prices run about $225-$275.
Well, I don't- too busy answering questions here- but several companies have made bolt action shotguns- I have 3 of them. Two are Mossbergs, and one is an H&R. They are not fancy, but very serviceable hunting weapons.
I can say that Browning started having shotguns made in 16 gauge in the year 1909.Winchester started having the model 12 shotguns made in 16 gauge in the year 1914.so I would surmise that the time frame of 1909-1915 would be the correct time frame for the introduction of the 16 gauge shotguns.
Ithaca made 10 gauge shotguns.
Bolt action shotguns in usable condition will retail for $100 - $125. They could have been made anytime from 1908 to 1960. With the rest of the markings on the gun, we might be able to identify the actual manufacturer's model number and determine a range of dates when that model was produced.
No. Not worthless, but not high $$$ guns either. These were utility grade shotguns, made for hunters, young shooters, etc. But nice reliable, durable guns all the same.
$20 to $150 depending on who wants it. Bolt action 20 ga shotguns are not highly prized.
