Anyone know anything about the winchester model 70 .30-06?

[stephenjames]

i have pre 64 winchester model 70 .30-06 in pretty much perfect condition, it was made in 1963 actually. it's only been shot once, 99.8% of the finish on the barrel(2 VERY small scrapes near the bolt. i was wondering what you think i could get selling a gun like this at an auction or what i should expect if i were to have it appraised. i can probably get pictures up if that would help. thanks

Just from doing alot of rifle research lately I have learned that rifle to be known as the "Riflemans" rifle. As some collectors say to be one of the most popular hunting rifles to date. Only made in limited production for a short period of time. Just from what I have read on the internet & magazines I would estimate an approx value of $1000 for a near perfect rifle, all the way down to $500 - $700 for a 65% to 80% condition piece. It's funny this is posted today as I just got done reading an artical in Petersons Hunting about the new Model 70 that will be out just in time for 2008 firearm season. I don't know if the re-introduction of a favorite rifle for many will diminish the value or help increase it. Sounds like a nice rifle!!

Congrats, you have a very highly desirable rifle. Probably one of the best ever made. I would hope that you never sell it and send it down the family line. I think $1000.00 would not be a high dollar value in todays market for your gun if in fact it is clean and in excellect condition. Wish I had one.
