I have had four Winchester 101 O/U combos over the years and I currently have two. The guns were sold as "Grand European" or "Super Grade" models, depending upon the engraving and calibers. I would search for them using those phrases. It is not very difficult to find them on the used gun market and they often can be found as new or nearly new guns. The calibers available included a 12ga barrel with 7x57, 7x65R, 9.3x74R, or .30-06. There were other calibers made but I don't remember the full selection and these are the ones I have had my hands on. The shotgun barrels have removable chokes built on the WinChoke system. The guns were made in Japan just like the other model 101s but the quality is good for the prices they go for. They came with detachable scope rings and bases similar to the EAW swing mounts. They usually come in a nice canvas luggage case. Once sighted in, the rifle barrels are very accurate. I have never had any trouble with mine but if you did, there are a lot of Winchester 101 parts available to the many gunsmiths qualified to work on these guns. The two I still have are built on the 7x65R and 9.3x74R barrels. I really like these guns and I would recommend them for anyone looking for a reasonably priced combination gun. I have used the 7x65R by 12ga to hunt deer, pigeon, and chukar.

Prices on these guns is usually in the $2500-$3500 range with some people occasionally taking less and others holding out for more. The "Grand European" is a little dressier than the "Super Grade" and usually costs a little more.

You can get an idea from these links. The first one is priced a bit high because the expensive EAW 30mm scope rings are not standard (they came with 1") and because of the custom stock work (2 stocks).

The second link will take you to listings by Double Eagle Trading Company. He currently has two for sale one is a .30/06X12ga for only $2100! I don't think it will last long at that price.

I also had a Winchester 101 "Grand European" 7x65R double rifle but I could never get it to shoot both barrels to the same point of aim. I tried everything and the best I could do was 12-18" at 100yds so I do not recommend the double rifles.
