Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Value of a mdl 70 338 wm

It's hard to get what you paid for, for really cheap rifles and customized rifles. That's why I buy good honest rifles that are easy to re-sell. Hint....

Only shot 20 times to break in, due to dads shoulder not accepting the recoil of the gun. Don't really know what it will do as it was never really shot enough to see how well it will shoot.

Yes it does have a lot of customization completed on the gun, at the time dad had all this work done he wanted an all weather big game gun, since then his shoulder has failed him and his body won't let him handle it.

Sorry bsa but, not everyone can afford to shoot top end guns daily. Some of us have to slump it and shoot model 70's.

Thanks for the hint

I "slump" it every day, then, with my old model 70's. Good honest rifles are easy to sell. Some guys shy away from custom jobs, but if you find just the right person that wants that exact rifle it should sell. Also remember that one man's opinion of "upgrades" is another guys, "What the fu ck did you do that for????". A John R. Sundra laminated stock is not my idea of an upgrade, when the orginal walnut stock was probably just fine/just as good. An upgraded stock is more in line with a good Mcmillan or Brown Precision.. List it on gunbroker or gunsinternational. You'll get far more people looking at it and it will probably sell. Post a lot of pictures and give as many details as you can. Also, don't be afraid to just sell the barreled action and then sell the "upgraded" stock on ebay or the likes. Good luck with it..

The stock is nothing special.... It's just a simple Boyd's laminate stock that was pillar and glass bedded, with checkering cut in it. I never tried saying the stock was something special at all. We knew before it was being put up here the stock was useless and would make it worth anything extra at all.

I'll just buy it from him and put another barrel in it and let my kids wear the new barrel out shooting at paper.

Thanks for slumming it and shooting those cheap rifles sometimes with the rest of us.

I bought an all original 338 win mag SM model 70 with two stocks the original plastic stock and factory wood stock for $600 bucks... And it's a 5 digit too.. So,,,,,,,,,,,, why would one buy yours for a grand when one can shop around and pick them up for 6 bills

I have an original synthetic stock for your model 70 if you want it let me know. Surprisingly those synthetic stocks are not too bad...

Thanks but I have a synthetic stock for it already.....

They are really not too bad when you glass bed them right too huh John...

Pretty good shooters too..
