Cabelas does fully price its used rifles. The fanciest Custom Shop Classic 70 was the "Ultimate Classic," produced around 2005-2006 (also LH) with a case and factory letter, for MRSP of $3000.

Here is what the Winchester historical models page says (sorry, I could not align the columns):


The Custom Ultimate takes a Model 70 to the next level. A Controlled Round Feed action with stout one-piece steel floorplate and trigger guard, in either blued or stainless steel is the foundation. Add an impressive list of hand-crowned match-grade Krieger� barrel options including round, fluted round or full tapered octagon. A fancy-grade American walnut stock featuring slim styling, a rounded fore-end, reverse comb and inletted swivel bases completes the vision. It�s offered in either blued or stainless steel.

Notes: **For additional capacity, add one round in chamber. 1. Drops are measured from center line of bore. 2. Twist is right-hand. 3. Scopes, bases and/or rings are not included unless otherwise noted. Prices are in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice.>>

They are beautiful and should shoot, with all the custom work. I have seen some offered and eventually sold after many months for up to $5000. I would not pay that for this one, but that is just me.
