Need pricing help on a pre 64 model 70 #6330295 03/24/12

OP willhunt4 Campfire Regular W Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 1,872 Nor Ca.	I would appreciate help in determining a value on this pre 64 model 70. 243 featherweight. Other than a pad being added, the only other thing I can find that keeps it from looking new to me is a small scratch on the stock that should show up in the following photos. It looks almost unfired. I believe it was made in 1961. Thanks for the help.

Yours is a bit nicer so I'd say it's worth about $750-$800 "after the bullet leaves the barrel it doesn't care what headstamp was on the case" "The 221 Fireball is what the Hornet could have been had it stayed in school"

If it was a plastic buttplate gun, there is a chance that the gun stock wasnt cut and getting a new plate is easy.

Good looking rifle though. "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Hunter S. Thompson
