As you said, a nice shooter grade gun.
Pad and swivel studs are not factory. That’s how the front sight ramp is supposed to look.

Thanks Poconojack, the reason I was wondering is my other Pre-64s do not have the stippled front sights on them. They are newer than this one. I acquired this in a trade and don't really have a need for it. So trying to get a feel for what I have.

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

Nice shooter grade rifle and as stated earlier, the stock has probably been cut, a pad added and sling studs replaced with QD type. I had a couple similar that I tried to peddle this Fall and there wasn't a lot of interest. My guess is for it to SELL (you can ask anything) it will be in the $800-900 range.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

I am not a collector. I get them, shoot them and if I like them I keep them and if I don't I sell them to the next guy that wants to try it.

I didn't read all of the posts but did reas many and looked at the pics.
I don't know if anyone pointed these things out, but a 1952 was probably the last of the best ones. They had the scope mounting down and some even hade Monte Carlo Combs. They didn't start the cost cutting measures or at least the early 1952 models still had Integral front sight ramps and hand lapped bores finished with up to 7 different reamers. A 1952 is a great model 70 for owning, hunting, or collecting.
