More information required.
Barrel length, amount of bluing, What sights? are the sights original? condition of screws, any cracks in the stock? is there any pitting? bore condition?
Have a look at Greg Martin Auctions to give you a better idea of it's value. Don't know where you live, but taking it to an appraiser would be in your interest as it's probably worth over a $1000. If it's a deluxe, lot's more.

Barrel - 28", screws are good, no cracks, bluing is poor, small pitting on outside of barrel, bore is fair to good, sights are "V" notch adjustable and every thing appears to be original. It has little wear but stored in a farm house closet for many years so shows slight rusting, stock has oil finish. Thanks for the help.

Re-measure the barrel. 26" was standard; 28 inches is a custom-ordered rifle and is more valuable.

Factory standard loads are under powered and not loaded to max potential.
I have one 5 years older than yours I shoot regular. Great cal and loads of fun to shoot. I was told mine was more valuable because a lot of them were sold with hex barrels so are more common. I have a 26in round barrel. Either way if its shooting its probably worth at least $800 in decent shape for its age. Seen a couple recently on the EE for that price. Pics would be a good idea though.
