Hello,
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated, I have these guns to choose from and currently have other rifles and shotguns so do not necessarily have a specific need, just curious as to which one has the most value or stands out or should I just choose the one that is the most expensive? I probably wouldn't look to sell it but if so is there one better for resale?
Thanks!

I personally would go with the Winchester Model 1866 in .45 Colt. I don't care much for shotguns and already have a Model 94 in 30-30.

I would have chose that, but the Cabela's ad says 38 special.

Right under the price there is a little box that says "Please choose", then you can select .38 or .45, at least what I am looking at shows it.

Short rifle looks like the ticket here. While I like all the others, caliber/Gauge choice sucks a biggie.

EDIT::::LMAO......now that I see there is a choice it`s in the air now.

Yes, I double checked and the 1866 is available in either .38 or .45, I would probably lean towards the .45 also.

I'd go with the 1866, but wouldn't mind the '94. Man you have great raffles!

 

[tuckerd1]

It's the 1866 in 45 for me then

Take the 45 lever gun. You can shoot 44 mag level ammo in them. Unless you are a shotgun hunter. The 45 lever gun will keep it's value forever, any shotgun not so much

 

[gdmoody]

Clarify - you can shoot .45 Colt ammo that has been loaded near the .44 level. DO NOT ever put .44 Magnum ammo in a .45 Colt gun, no matter how strong.

Everyone should have a '94 in their inventory... I think it is a written rule somewhere...

I have 2 .45 colt rifles. A '73 and a henry, i don't think i would want to shoot .44 mag ammo in them.

It would be very hard for me to leave one of those Benelli shotguns on the table.

The Winchester 101 over under would be nice too. But the best thing of all for the OP is you didn't enter this raffle, or he wouldn't have this dilemma.

Thanks for the input so far. At first glance I was leaning towards the 1894, I also like the 1866 but have never had a rifle in .45 so thought it would be something different. The Benelli shotguns are tempting but keep going back to the rifles. Too many choices and don't want to regret my decision and I have to make a decision by tomorrow.

Very true, I'm stressed but in a good way for once in my life!

Another vote for the 1866 in .45Colt.

Which Benelli would you favor if I went the shotgun route?
Thanks

 

[howlnmad]

One more vote for the 1866 in 45.

 

[ysacres]

Which Benelli would you favor if I went the shotgun route?
Thanks

The Ethos at $2,999 compared to the Montefeltro at $1,799

 

[TRAP55]

Neither one, I would take the Win 101. Read the Benelli warranty, and that's only if they honor it. Need a new barrel? Might find a used one for less than $600.
