Winchester Model 88 .243

[Ludedude1992]

My brother is looking to sell his really nice Model 88 Winchester .243 lever action rifle. Per the serial number the rifle was built in 1957. Does anyone have any input on the value of this rifle? After doing some research it seems the pre 1964 model 88 in .243 was a rare find. Any input would be great!
