Can get one in 30.06 for $400. Bore is good a little rust here and there and very few dings on the stock.
I know it is a bastardized version of the Post-64 Model 70 but how has yours handled the years.

They are the same as a Model 70,but cheaper wood stock and not as good metal finish,but shoot fine. I know a guy that has used one for 20 + years and killed quite a few elk with it.Several years ago he put a nicer Boyd's stock on it though

Which safety does it have?

The standard 3 position Win 70 safety,
BTW: A 670 in 30-06 was my longest serving deer rifle until recently. I gave it to #3 son when he started hunting on his own as an adult, and he loves it as much as I did.

Just saw one at Green Mountain Gun in Lakewood, CO for $275.00, like EthanEdwards said and it was mint. The only reason I didn't buy it was that I had just gotten a Remington 78 in similar condition for a similar price.

Good guns, but $400 is too much.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

He's looking at your rifle, or...? If it has the wing safety, I would value it close to a Model 70 from that era. If it has the older sliding safety, $275 would be a fairer price. The only difference between the wing-safety 670 and the 70A is less metal finishing and a birch stock on the 670.

Should also be a push feed. Had one when I was kid. The stock sucked, turns a 30-06 into a 338 WM.
Otherwise, it was great.

Guys I had a 670 WAY back there in the early 70s. .243 W that shot better than I could.
It had a very nice Walnut stock and I liked the rifle much....
BUT (ahemm) Gunwriters didn't think much of it. More like red head stepchild kinda thing. This was early in my loony development. I didn't know enuff to IGNORE them so I let 'peer pressure' sour my attitude about the rifle.
DUMB mistake ! ! I wish even today I had it back in the condition it was in.

If the stock fits you, then it will be a great rifle.
If it doesn't, it will kick like a mule. Mine didn't fit me so I sold it. Great first rifle though.

I've had three of them. They worked very well for me. The 670 has a slide safety and the 670A has a wing safety. I had a .270 and two .30-06's and they were great guns.

It is a 670A. They will let it go for $350 so I will pick it up Friday.
As usual thanks one and all for your input.

Winchester had a 770 too. Although I don't remember ever seeing one.

Saw one in .243 at a gun show.

I have one in a 225. It isn't as nice as either the 270 I bought for a brother, or the 30-06 I've had for years, but it still works.

I never knew they came in .225 Win. Learn something new every day! That would be one I would snag.

I bought a 670 in 30-06 when I was 16 for $150 and put an $80 Bushnell Banner on it. The Banner crapped out after 4 years of use so I put a Leupold Vari-X ll on it. With carefully assembled 180g Nosler Partitions it would shoot 5 shot dime size groups at 100 yards repeatably. I finally sold it to a cousin because I never would use the other rifles I had acquired. It just fit and I shot it well.
