Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Are early '60's M700's worth more than later ones?

I have a couple 1962 vintage not as low serial numbers as Navlav8r.

I have one in 30-06 Carbine. It was before the Dupont finish on the stock. Some who have seen it think that someone had stripped the finish and re-finished it.
One had a 725 stock - it was a 308 carbine - I rebarreled that one to 358. That one had a rough life, it was as a city of Chicago police rifle according to the guy I bought it from.
I have one - 1963 manufacture - in 25-06 that’s been hunted a bit. It’s a keeper though - the most accurate 25-06 I’ve seen.
