Just called Winchester about date & quanity of manufacter, and they said they didn't have any info on these guns!!! That coming from their historian!!! If they don't know then who does! Maybe someone here could help me? The rifle is a .307 Big bore SN- AE182XX. Does anyone know what year and how many were produced in .307? Also what is the approximate value? Just looking for more info on this one, .307's seem to be hard to find on the web. Are they getting that rare? Thanks.

38-55 94AE Trailsend Hunter
.307 94AE XTR Big Bore

No Big Bores on that list.

Someone here was trying to start a data base on the Big Bores and Angle Ejects. Mybe they will chime in.
Its hard to do more than speculate on the numbers manufactured. We need to find an "insider" who worked for USRA at the time of introduction.
C.E. Harris used to post here. I believe he did the first actual introduction of the Big Bore .375 in the American Rifleman. I believe his write up was before the rifle was introduced to the public. Perhaps he remembers the s/n of that rifle. It would be one of the first Big Bores.

I have a Big Bore '94 in .375. I called the Browning historian since they own USRA (Winchester). His name is Glenn.
(801) 876-2711. He at least told me that my rifle was made in the spring of 1980.
