My guess also.
It would look better in a picture because of the shiny varnish, but really is a fine example of a farm gun.
A 1940 should have the longer forestock which makes it a bit more desirable. Worn bluing or patina is fine but rust, pitting, scratches or gouges in the metal is very undesirable. Minor imperfections in the wood are expected for a rifle of that vintage but again gouges or deep scratches not good. Presence of the front site hood is also desirable. installation of sling swivels or a butt pad is bad as is engraving of any kind. If the screws are buggered this alone makes it a truck gun. Unfortunately 32 win sp ammo is currently as scarce as hens teeth so unless one reloads and has brass not a desirable calibre.
Yes plus or minus 600 to 800 depending on above factors. A 1940 that is unmolested and in fine / excellent (80 % plus) condition could be worth a lot more - whatever a collector would pay.

Sold a 1907 .32WS carbine in about 60%ish condition for $800. I hunt whitetail sometimes with a mid 50’s 94 .32.
Without seeing it, yours is worth somewhere around the $500-$700 range. Varnish brings the value down, but yours is a keeper, so it doesn’t matter.
