I have had this rifle for a number of years and never see them at Gun Shows. The rifle is in about 96% condition and looks like it has been fired very little. What is the value of this gun?

Thats a pretty desirable rifle. I almost bought one at a gunshow, last year, for 1000.00. IF your rifle is all original and in the condition you describe, its worth much more than the one i almost blught. I would not give an estimate on value, until the op verifys its 100% original. A supergrade is one of those rifles that has to be taken out of the stock and examined very carefully with a well trained eye.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

It is a relatively rare and desirable gun, but it's value depends on its era of manufacture and it's origionality. It would be a great help in your quest for info, if you would post some good pics of the rifle and give us the serail range on the reciever- the first three digits (753XX, etc) should work..

I have one in similar condition that dates to 1953 that I have been offered $5K for it.

Vixen: My May of 1954 produced Model 70 Supergrade in 220 Swift IS mint!
99 1/2% condition if going by the 1 to 100% scale.
I can't imagine selling it, but from the few similar guns I have seen actually sold over the last decade I would NOT let mine go for anything less than $4,000.00 cash.
Let me know what serial number range its in and I could maybe give you a better value range.

A 220 swift SG in the exact condition you described is worth a lot of $.
