I basically have the same gun arrived at by the same deal. Mine is a 1955, but has the standard stock with the metal butt plate. It was my Step MIL's elk rifle. Only two boxes shot by her. It even came with three boxes of old 1955-57 date code Winchester Silvertips. They still work.. I would not sell mine for $1250.00 They are not the most rare models, but few survive in the original 300 H&H chamber, let alone 95%+ condition. Mine will be passed down to the family when I depart.
