I’ve wanted to add a pre 64 Model 70 to my safe for a while. I want a nice shooter grade model with original finish, without extra holes and preferably built before the 60’s. Most likely a standard model over a featherweight and most likely a common caliber probably .270 Win or 30-06.
A rifle for sale on GB that caught my eye is an all original Model 70 made in 1953 30-06 with good blueing and wood with the original matching serial number box. The seller is asking $2350 shipped. That seems high to me but where I’m having trouble deciding is I’m ballpark familiar with prices but have not been around Winchester collecting enough to know how much value the box brings for that age, model and condition rifle. Looking for thoughts and opinions from some of you knowledge Winchester guys.
