Not an expert here, but there are a lot of variables even given those bounds. When it was made, barrel length, etc. High level, my sense is probably $650 to $1,100 depending on specifics.

1. Several pics and "-" number would help.
2. Are the grips numbered to the gun?
3. Do you have the original box?

"NRA Very Good" condition or just one in great shape? NRA Very Good isn't very nice for that new of a gun. I'm guessing though that you mean a gun that's pretty danged near new-in-box, but not quite. The wooden grips suggest pre-Hillary hole which helps a lot. This is probably the high point of S&W's full-size, non-formal target guns. My guess is in near-NIB condition, $900.

No, new S&W 617 with 10 cartridge cylinder has MSRP of $853. NIB 617-2 could go for $900 or little more.

I know someone who spent $2K for a Registered Magnum box.

In my mind a S&W 617 6 inch barrel is priceless.

Depends on the buyer, this one is getting collectable. Having the box etc. Does add value. To me and many others. Check the price on the auction sites. Boxes and accessories will bring more money.

My 617-4 is a 4” and I would not sell it for $800. With out the lock they are getting hard to find. Mine is very accurate, not as svelte as a model 17, but a very good shooter.

The box absolutely adds value. There's a 6" 617 pre-lock sitting on an auction site right now with no box, no bids for $925. The 2 statements above are not intentionally related. But, possibly they are.
