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

I paid that for mine in August 2016. It was unfired, no box.

Probably nuts, but there you go!

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

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.

"Inspection/ Return Policy

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.

He takes poor photos that can't be enlarged to see good detail and overstates condition while charging a premium.

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.

Well, in case you missed it the first time around and didn’t bid on it, here is your chance. And no pesky auction either.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!
