If it is in original condition and relatively clean then it can be worth anywhere from 250 up to 400 bucks...but if there is pitting and/or rust in the bore or outside then expect to get a bit less for it.
The Vetterli as I understand it was the first repeating magazine fed rifle ever issued to military troops in history. So this kind of makes it special in it's own right.
You could also try www.gunbroker.com and look through their "antiques" section under "collectibles" to get a better idea of values...they seem to pop up there quite often

Snider Enfield MK2 ** Prescott
Here are a few shots of my Snider Enfield MK2 ** Regimentally marked to Prescott, Ontario. It is a recent purchase and I have not had it to the range for shooting. It has an Enfield lock dated 1859, early barrel bands, butt tang marked Q (for Prescott) over 150, breach is LAC/Snider Patent. Wood is very good overall. The bore is good also. This one is one of six sniders in my collection.
