    Anyone know about Winchester Mod 120's?

    I just bought a Winchester 120 Ranger in 20 gauge youth model (she's pretty short) for my daughter, anybody with info on them?

    What I'm finding is kind of well strange. It's a plain Jane shotgun nothing fancy about it plain wood stock. What I've found is that it was a budget model sold at K-Mart and other discount store's in the mid 80's. Now the strange part one article I read said they are selling in the range of $600 to $800, (since they were only made for a a year to celebrate Winchester's 120th anniversary) with the rarest model a 20ga slug gun with sights going for $1800. Did I just happen upon a steal at $200? It's in good shape no major issues a tiny bit of surface rust that will clean right up. It is a shooter for sure, and has been used a bit.

    Now I know there is no telling what someone will pay for something, or even figure out why they would.

      Where are you seeing them for $600-800? As far as I have ever found, it's a $200 gun any place.
      Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

        I've never seen one at that price, don't think I'd pay more than I did either. I was did a internet search and came up with that. Not that I believe it. It was an old post on a forum, two guys arguing back and forth about the value and rarity of the 20 gauge. To me it's just something that my daughter has been looking for for a while. So I figured I pick it up for her. I don't think it's anything valuable, just wanted to know a bit more about it, barrel availability ect. It's got a Win-choke tube on it, but only one tube, so I'm hoping I can find something that will fit.

          As you can see by these charts Browning Invector (not Invector+) interchange with Winchokes.
