Any idea what one NIB is worth?

OK. Well, what if it was a 6.5 Swede?
A 6.5 Swede in a Winchester M 70 Featherweight,then I'll cancel the tickets. laugh grin

Yeah, well, I'll have to wait till the do another special run. Which they eventually will.
Nope,Winchester made those starting back in the mid-late 80's till Winchester shut down in 2006.

Look on gunbroker or gunsinternational for them.

Aw, they'll do it again. It'll be a Shot Show special or something but they'll run it again.

Oddly enough MRC doesn't offer a rifle in that caliber. 7x57 yes, but 6.5 Swede no. Strange.

Still wonder what a T3 Forest is worth, though.

By the way, what do you have against Tikka? Other than it not being a classic design. Howa in 6.5 sit better?
I tried to steer you the right way,oh well,good luck on your search. smile wink

Nothing,they are not for me.

Howa is ok,but it's your money.

I'm just a Winchester snob and that's ok by me. smile

And it was a very good effort on your part.
Thanks. wink

Yep, but if I'm going to be paying full freight I'd rather those marks be mine.

But since it looks as though there's no market for the Tikka Forest I suppose I'll go back to saving coin for the XWR...a new XWR! grin
Winchester M 70 Rev,I hear one calling your name. smile

In case you still want to know, I think $750-800 is about right. not including any premium for the chambering.

What would you consider a reasonable premium for it being chambered in either .260 or 6.5?

Just wanted to let you know that after a good night's sleep, I got it all out of my system and am still planning on picking up an XWR in 7x57 before fall. wink

Personally, I would not pay more than $850, but at the end of the day it is worth whatever somebody will pay for it. Only you can decide.

Very true. The price is $900.

You'll want a Winchester to look at and a Tikka to shoot. That's what happened to me.. both in 6.5x55.
