Winchester model 70 value


Recommended Posts

I am watching a bankruptcy auction, and there are two super grade model 70s a 300 win mag New with tags and a 7mm lightly used. I don't know much about the 70's other than some military snipers have used them. I'm in the market for an elk rifle.

What would be a safe amount to pay for a "super grade"? Anything I need to be looking for with these rifles?

Thanks in advance for any help!

You probably already realize the pre-64 has a different, more Mauser extractor which dangerous game hunters and such preferred. They also had a higher level of fit and finish that was absent for a time in the Winchester product line. If you want one go for it but a good commercial Bruno Mauser will do equally as nicely.

Thanks guys, exactly the distinctions I was looking for.  Unfortunately, the auction is only online (and the pics and info they provide is limited).  If I can't get one for under $500, I think I'll pass.  The wood on both of them do look real nice.  They have a Sako and a couple 1911's for sale, and a couple mausers.  They have a $5k gun safe (the high end liberty line)....so I would expect that the guns (based on the other guns in the auction) are quality.  I'll post some pics if I end up with some of them.

Yep I came across this auction looking for a gun safe.  Didn't end up with that safe but I got the STI VIP 9mm and the SCAR 17 mags.  Pretty good deal on them and the gun was practically new with a bunch of custom upgrades and machine work.  I'll be keeping an eye out for more auctions like that for sure.
