Price check on some Pre-64 Model 70s

[gdawg]

Hi folks - just trying to get a ball-park sense of the value of a couple Pre-64s that might come my way.

Standard grades, both in good shape, crisp rifling, no rust, both hunted (probably not much) so some marks on the wood.

First is 1960 300 H&H



Second is a 1951-52 308 featherweight



thanks

You may want to check the results from Switzers auction held earlier today. There may have been some comparable a sold today. Some items didn’t get much love while others were bud up at closing.

Thanks that is helpful. A little harder to find values on the 300. I'm assuming the 308 would be in the ballpark of a 30-06 or 270

Heck, if you decide on a price for that 308 can I have first dibs? lol

There was a .300 H&H at Switzers that sold for $1800 + taxes & premiums. That was a 1952 vintage rifle that had a pad added and non-original iron sights.

Both decent scopes.
Couple g's would be my estimate.
Don't see too many .308win's on the EE in that formation.

If it helps at all to come up with a price - Winchester introduced the 308 Win in 1952 - two years before NATO adopted the 7.62x51 - so if that one is made in 1952, that would be the first year for that chambering - not first year, at all, for the action or for a Win stamped 30 cal barrel, but for that chambering. The twist rate might have been made differently than previous? (I do not know).

Thanks folks. Appreciate the info.

Looks like the serial number of the 308 corresponds to a late '51 production.

 

[kamlooky]

Jeeez, that .308win is a beauty.
After seeing the Lumby prices on the used lever stuff, fruck, two bits with the scope should draw some attention.
Wish I had that sort of coin to offer up.

Be proud pack'in that thing in the bush and wear some awf the new awffer.

That pre-64 300H&H is a gun I've been looking for for a long time ...

 

[struff55]

300 gun only 1600$
308 feather weight 1200$ the 308 is the most common of all feather weights

That or a bit more seems legit. I don't know where the $1800+ featherweight stuff has come from lately.

I bet a $1600 300 H&H doesn't last long on the EE!

 

[kamlooky]

I agree.
And I would take the light weight if it was offered to me for the 12 bones as struff55 proclaims.
Some kids can sure imbarass their parents.

I agree. I have a 1954 all original 300 H&H in really good condition that I wouldn't be letting go for less than $2k... that's if I was interested in letting it go, which I am not.
