I had one in .308, a 660 I believe, which I bought at a gunshow in Detroit in the early 1970's; don't remember the price but it was way below $100. It was wearing a Williams rear aperture sight, had the rear stock cut out to accept it. I absolutely loved it, and it represented a number of milestones for me: my first centerfire "big game" rifle that wasn't a .303 (I vividly recall examining that first high-tech rimless .308 cartridge with wonder 
); my first deer and black bear; eventually my first scoped rifle; later still my first attempt at re-finishing a gunstock and installing a recoil pad (partially disolved the plastic spacers/tip with stripper!); and even later my improved job of re-re-finishing the stock.
I moved it down the road much later in trade on something else that I don't even remember and almost certainly no longer own; I miss almost every rifle after I sell/trade it, but that .308 is in a class of its own in terms of regret.
