I wish I would have seen this earlier. I can't see it going over $1,600.00 in todays market though... Nice rifle, but what detracts from value is it's a magnum. Left hand stainless model 70's sell better if they are the short action variety. The nice walnut stocks also add to the value. Nice rifle, but is it going to go over $1,600.00? Hell, I know where a nice blued model is in 7STW for $800.00 and it also comes with a Leupold 3.5-10x40...
