Does anyone know the approx value of a Winchester M70 in savage 250 cal. ? The rifle is from the late 40's or early 50's and in excellent shape. I know this doesn't concern a savage 99 but it does the ammo. Thanks BJL

I'd give ya 250 for it..................
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

The 250-3000 caliber in a model 70 is rare. Less than 3000 made. If the rifle is unmolested (no extra holes) and in good shape. It would bring 2K or better on any of the auction sites.

A whole lot of questions need answers before a value can be determined.
Is it of pre-war manufacture or post war? (Makes a big difference.)
Is it a "standard grade" or "super grade"?
Has the rifle been altered? (receiver bridge D&T, barrel D&T,pad on stock, stock inletted for receiver sight, etc.)
Does it have original sights?
Is metal finish original?
Is wood finish original?
An original M70 standard pre-war in 90%+ condition chambered for the .250Sav should bring about $3K. A post-war rifle would bring about $500 less. A "super grade" should bring about twice the value of "standard grade"
The M70 in .250Sav is "interesting" but from the standpoint of utility it pales into insignificance when compared to a M70 chambered in .257Roberts which is worth about half of what the .250Savage values out as.
A M70 barrel alone in .250Sav, if not screwed with and is in decent condition, should sell for at least $500 to someone who wants to "hump" up a "rare" M70.
If the rifle is original and in decent shape and it can be bought for $1500 or less it is a bargain. If the seller knows what he has then the price will probably be close to $3000.
