Local Dirt, were I in the biz of putting a value on a gun or if I were to make that guy an offer I would give him 750 and never bat an eye. I would clean it up and refinish the wood and hunt hell out of it, Im saying this without going back and looking the gun over as I hate extra holes! I have seen and bought many dogs that cleaned up real nice and after a real ,to the metal bore scrub and several factory loads to look see what they liked ended up being super shooters! No doubt some bad barrels got out the door but Ive been very lucky when it came to pre 64 model 70's and accuracy. On a good day I might offer the fellow 800 for this gun! very best my friend!
