Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors RFI: Price on a stainless M-70 Classic in 30-06

This isn't a collector's rifle, but I'm pondering my future and looking at rifles I can afford to sell, so trying to figure out what this one is worth.

It's a solid, do-it-all hunting rifle: 30-06 Model 70 Sporter bedded into Bansner stock. Old-style trigger. Barrel was 24" but is now 23.6” because it had a nick in the rifling just shy of the muzzle. I had my riflemaker shorten the barrel and lap it. It shoots just fine now. Round count after lapping is just under 1,200.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

I'll take it! lol

Probably $750-900 in my neck of the woods. Little higher elsewhere. Market is tough here right now. And then there's the cheapskates!

Pics?

Would definitely command a higher price on 24hcf. More M70 loonies exposed here!

It’ll sell at that price! They don’t make them
Like that anymore!

I saw your rifle in the classifieds last night. If I had to put a price on it here, it would be about $1,000.00. Nice rifle, but does have some rounds on it.

I’m in this camp.

In texas a bone stock classic goes for $1000 no scope. In a bansner you might be able to justify $1,200 if they know what they are looking at but the round count and shortened barrel might bring me back to 900 or 1000.

There's a stainless 300 WM classic at Burdett and Son in College station for $1045 right now if anybody really needs one.

I know I looked at it during lunch. I would have bought it if I hadn’t just renarreled my 7 mag to 300 wm because I couldn’t find one.

Thanks, everyone. This really helps.
