I have a couple - a 270 and a 243. I agree with the comments above. You have a rifle worth a little more than a grand. If you hunt with it a bit and put a few scratches in the stock you will have a rifle worth about $900. Trust me, it will be about the best $100 you've ever lost.

I will also offer another suggestion. I have never been a huge fan of the very shiny and hard finish that is on most of these, especially in the later years. When I bought one of mine the previous owner had stripped off that finish and applied a hand-rubbed oil finish. It made the rifle even better. So if you hunt with it for a while and decide you want to make it pretty again, I would go that route. A hand-rubbed oil finish will bring out the true beauty of the stock. Those rifles usually had some pretty good wood on them.
