I'm still saying it's going to bring $1,100.00. The seller probably has some ridiculous reserve on it though.

Gave considerable less for mine in the Walnut stock but it may have been longer ago than I recollect. Was during the Obama rule.

Well, no one bought it. High bid was $1,000.00

Not surprised, a .308W is the red headed step-child. Foolish as that may be. A poster recently let an essentially unused pre 70 FWT .308W get away for the same price. If I didn’t already have 2 .308W’s, I would have been haggling on this one.

Brad is correct, a 6 digit and one of the most desirable and hard-to-find s/s classics, indeed. Good buy there Bobmar.

Way overpriced, and not a fan of the seller. Would add, the same rifle sold, with a Leupold 3.5-10x40, for around $1000 a couple weeks back.

No 3 to 5 day inspection/evaluation, without knowing the seller? Some of you are much more trusting than I.

I guess I'm just not that big a 308 fan. The Walnut jobbie is a real looker.

I wonder what mine are worth? I wouldn't ever sell them however. Model 70 stainless classics in 30.06 and .375 H&H magnum. I've killed a lot of critters with both.

I ran into a SS New Haven 7mm-08 in the ultimate shadow and as I recall it was 499. It had no box and was unfired. I should have bought the darn thing and I know it is still sitting at that shop.

For a 7mm-08? You should go and buy it..!! I ended up taking home a Stainless M70 XTR instead New Old Stock for 50 bucks more. Next time I go down there I will buy it , it is a 2 hour drive each way and it is new Old stock as well.

If it's a classic, I like it. The oldstyle trigger and its simplicity wins out every time vs. the MOA for me. Plus the older rifles were still made in the good ol USA!!!!!!!!!
