…a SRC in 38-55, sold by Austin on GB. It was in about 90% and went for around $4500, which seemed reasonable, but the Red-Book showed about $6700.
Maybe the 25-35 you reference would sell for considerably more than what was asked for at the gun show were it listed on GB. Who knows, for

…I fired it. When it was dead on, I put the tube and forend back on. It is actually a very good shooter. Boy, how I enjoyed being a kid. At 70, sometimes life sucks.
…certainly glad we got what we got. The mounting system is a bit to be desired but I was able to get it to work. My Malcolm scope makes a 100 yard target look as big as a 25 yard target without the scope!
…production records for 1944 and 1945 for the Model 75 (no 75 receivers were serialized in 1944). That 1945 Model 75 serial number range was 48970-49097 in case that matches up with any of your documentation.

I have an 1886 in .45-70 with the full oct and mag. It has some interesting Alaska history. It's in way better shape than this one. If I can't get 5K for it, I'll just

In my opinion, it appears to be an honest gray gun, but overpriced by $700 to $1000. I've had many Sheard, Livingston marked Winchesters over the years. Although he was a famous gunsmith/sight maker, guns with his mark

I recently got lucky enough to score a Winchester model 70 according to web-site was manufactured in 1946. Obviouslt it has the pre-64 action and not the current crappy enfield action. I have numerous…
…will be that easy. With that in mind hear are my questions.
1. Unless Im wrong the pre-64 action will always have more value than the model 70 with enfield action. How much value are we talking.
2. The stock on the firearm is real nice. I used to sell Winchesters with the pre-64…
…or there all pretty much the same value if there pre-64?
5. If I have a genuine pre-64 does value depend on caliber. If so I picked up a 270. Can somebody give me an idea of what a 1946 pre-64 action model 70 rifle is worth??? Can I count on value climbing or is it gonna pretty much…
…they plain wood? My is plain wood and that has me a little skeptical.
7. Does caliber have anything to do with value of rifle. If so does a 270 help me or hurt me?
8. Is there anything else I should be thinking of about this rifle? It is in remarkedly good shape
Thanks,
Mike
…t usually post photos of my recent acquisitions on WACA (probably for fear of ridicule) but you got me inspired so I recently found this pre-war M70 target rifle in 270 WCF on GunBroker of all places. I rarely even look at GB and hadn't bought anything more than a box of vintage ammo from there…

The S/N is 50628, so very close to yours...
Anyway my question... How's your target/accuracy load development coming? I'm afraid my friend Tedk is going to want to give this one a "test drive" so I'd better start working on finding

…seeing it, it is almost certain to be an aftermarket barrel or a modified original barrel. I believe the 708 cartridge was offered commercially by Remington around 1980. The model 100 was discontinued in the early 1970s. It seems improbable the

Anyway, about midway through the round I felt a flinch coming on, recovered and rode the bird out about 35 yards in front of the house before

I'd love to pay $400 today for an Excellent Model 1866.
It is also interesting that a Model 70 Featherweight is cheaper now than what it was in 1958, when you take inflation into account.
What cost $125.00 in 1958 would cost $1120.62 in
