Good morning folks. I have a Winchester model 70 classic stainless all terrain in 7 mag. Very pretty rifle in very good condition. It has the synthetic featherweight stock. Very low round count, very few blemishes. I think they were produced 1996-98. I’ll check the serial number tonight. I’m trying to come up with a value. Something caught my eye and I am likely to move this as I will not hunt it. Any help is much appreciated!

They existed as five digits so likelihood is their actual introduction was late 94. Yours will be either a five or six digit. They also existed in the boss configuration. And you are correct, they were only ~ a three year run.
I like the all-terrain in the seven and 300 mag, because they came with a factory 24 inch barrel, rather than 26 which adorned the classic stainless.
Price will depend on condition, boss, and who is looking. We used to say that the boss negatively affected value, but anymore I’m not as sure. I have seen some rare configuration boss guns go for a premium. Just depends on who is looking for what. My .02; gun alone I would expect $900-$1000 ish would sell it on here, but you might be able to get a few hundred dollars more if you went the GunBroker route. It seems the classic stainless have enjoyed a little bit of a resurgence and have started to edge back up a bit in their prices from this past spring.

I had one in 30-06. This has been a couple of years ago but around $700 was considered a fair price for one sitting on a gun shop shelf at that time. It took a while for me to get $600 for it. IIRC mine was made in 1994.
But I'd be afraid to guess today. Prices for at least some guns have really gone up.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Some say they were introduced in '96 and produced through '98. They could be wrong though. I like your statement about the BOSS guns. I too remember when they detracted from value, but now I've seen some over $1,200.00. I guess it was just a matter of time before the collectors saw them as "collectible"??? Who knows. As for who made the stocks for these, was it Mcmillan? They are advertised as fiberglass/graphite and weigh 7 1/4 pounds. Seems a little high for a stock that sounds an awful lot like a Mcmillan edge.
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

That explains the weight. Although, 7 1/4 isn't too bad, my pre 64 300WBY and 338wm are both lighter in their PoundR stocks..

No clue on the “graphite”. They aren’t, I can assure you!
Nice rifles. There are a few on GB currently; the one in Maine is the only one realistically priced.

Thanks AK. That is good to know. I know someone in this thread asked who made the stock and no one answered him. I believe I saw one of these stocks on ebay a couple weeks ago, but the damn thing was $350+!!!!! Definitely not worth it IMHO.. This guy is on crack!!

Sweet rifle and no BOSS. I'll bet that one brings about $1,200.00.. What do you think?
