Ted Williams, Sears Roebuck 30-30 Info

I found an ad for a Ted Williams 30-30, the ad doesn't say anything about it's condition. Any information you guys have on these would be a big help.

It's a Winchester or Marlin made for Sears. Without a model number it's hard to say. Either way if the price is right I'd buy it.

He's asking $325, says it comes with a "side mount for a scope attached". It's supposed to be in good condition. From what I gather these are supposed to be Winchesters.

If it has a side mount, it's a Winchester. The price seems high but if it's really clean and has a nice scope it might be worth it. I like store brand guns myself.

I have a Ted Williams model 100. It is a post-64 top eject Winchester and is a very good shooter. I think the price is a little high too.

Every time I think of those Ted Williams rifles I have to chuckle to myself. I remember one day while I was looking at something in a gun shop a guy came in with one. He told the guy behind the counter he was wanting to sell it. the guy from the gun shop says well, it might be worth $75, which was about right as this was in the early 80's. the guy with the gun went ballistic saying he wasn't going to get riped off because he had a Ted Williams "COMMEMORATIVE" rifle and he knew it was worth more than that. The guy grabbed the gun and went stomping off out the door. I think everyone in the shop got a laugh out of it.

Commemorative?? Dang I knew I should have saved those old empty .22 shells. And those paint brushes too, I think they said Bob Villa on them!!
