I would figure anything above $750 would be sitting for sale for quite some time. I noticed one of about the same vintage as yours at the local gun shop yesterday for $895 if I remember correctly. At Cableas last year there was a very nice Stoeger import for $800 but it had a VX III scope, I should've bought it but I prefer the pre garcia sako's. I agree they are a very good deal on today's market especially considering the high prices of beat up pre 64 winchesters.
