You are assuming it is 100% all original? I'm wondering how many guys post this kind of question and then come to find out it has an extra hole drilled in it somewhere or it doesn't have an original stock... Threads like these really need pics and a very good description. "Been hunted, metal is average" is a hell of a good description. Just sayin

Without seeing the rifle or even pictures of it:

$750.00 to $850.00

BSA17 above response, amplified! "Worth" posting some photos if seriously seeking a "rifle worth" evaluation. Experienced eyes to note matters possibly 'insignificant to owner' as 'making or breaking' collector $$$ category. Such potentially moving a ho-hum specimen to collector desirable and sadly too often the opposite! The latter we sometimes see as the "Rare Uncatalogued Variant", of Internet ads! smile smile smile
Decent photos as definite plus, my definite take!
Best!

Jeeze it ain't a frigging museum piece.

66 year old deer rifle that's spent a fair share of its life in the woods.
Stock cut for pad or aluminum plate?

Mickey Monte Carlo .

Did you even read the post ?
$618.50. Possibly less, or more.
I did; and my phone cut off the Mickey part.

Apologies.

So - shooter grade 270 fw in mickey puts it at $1000-$1200 in my mind.

Thanks
If the action hasn't met a prick named bubba, and it has all factory sights including hood, meaning it could be put back in a nice FWT walnut stock if wanted, 1200 bucks.

If you put it in another Stock, it is not original, and is only a shooter grade....not a collector grade....

Parts value probably $1300- $250 for scope, $400 for stock, $650 for barreled action. Whole rifle to someone just looking for a rifle probably $900

With no pictures, you are being awfully generous.

Technically yes, but, i have a standard rifle in 270 that had it's stock driven over and broken back in the 60's, that old man had a stick of English walnut built for it that would have the 'custom' collectors grabbing checkbooks ; ]

Of course back in the day, if someone cracked a 338 or 375 stock, Winchester would replace said stock or send out a new one and no one would question the originality of that rifle.... I know 2 guys in town that had that happen with their 338's.
Didnt know that buddy BSA, story goes with the rifle i mentioned, kid left pappy's rifle leaning against a truck tire, drove off and broke it, maybe dad had be wanting a custom stocked rifle anyway, hell, when he got through whoopin jr's ass he may have went and got on the phone ; ]
