Of the four rifles, the 303 British is not a collector grade rifle.  Due to the fact that it has aftermarket checkered stocks and the non-factory installed receiver mounted Redfield peep sight, it is a "shooter" grade rifle.

Of the other three rifles, the 405 WCF is the most desirable (higher potential value), followed by the 30-03, with the 30-06 bringing up the rear.

The first thing I would check for the 405 WCF and the 30-03 rifles is the Take Down lock-up to verify that they are still tight (no wobble or loose fit).  For the 30-06, the area of concern is the bolt headspace.  Bore conditions would be next on my list.

Based on what I can see of each rifle, the value for the entire package is no more than $10K.

I didn't know who he was, so I looked him up. Thinking others may be wondering as well, here's what I found: 

Lee was an American who became a professional hunter and safari organizer, who popularized Angola as a safari destination. He founded Hunting World, a supplier of hunting gear that expanded into fashionable bags and leather goods. 

He must have done well because he became a serious arms and car collector and owned millions of dollars in real estate.

Lee died in Reno, Nevada in 2016.

Anyone want to bet it doesn’t crack 5?  If not outright, once you add in buyer’s premium and sales tax?

Zeb-

My dad had a neurosurgeon who also lacked that quality. His chart apparently opined he was not communicative so nurses were surprised when they had a long conversation. Apparently a radiation research biologist and a neurosurgeon were able to find some common ground. The neurosurgeon also read his chart thoroughly and wisely chose not to talk down to him. There ARE some good docs out there!

I am realizing that the pictures I took were not the best and I might need to get more or at least take some feedback from the group on what I need to look for.  I am being honest that I did not look in the bore of any of these and realize that is a factor.  Calibers range from 30-06, 30-03, 405, and 303.  I am hoping the link below allows access to pictures.  They should all be in order from gun to gun.  I am thinking the 303 was a deluxe model?

Again, any input is appreciated as I continue my research.  Been looking at Gunbroker and very few have sold to compare to.

Thanks!

Shooting a Monte Carlo stock Model 70 Pre 64 Model 70 with open sites is very challenging.  Not  advised, but the only way that I can see the sites are if my cheek is next to the butt plate!  Low comb stocks are better suited for iron sites, and a Monte Carlo stock is preferred when using a scope on the Pre 64 Model 70.
  

Good afternoon, Bo.  Agree the folding Lyman sight line is too low for the MC comb.  However, the Lyman 48 WJS bridge sets sufficiently higher over the receiver that a replacement, higher front sight is required. The resulting sight line is not much different than the optical center of a 1" scope in low rings. I think It also depends on the shape of the shooter's face -  how thin-cheeked or heavy joweled he is and how hard he cheeks the stock. 

Interestingly, for all its faults, that is one technical thing the 1964 Model 70 fixed. The stock was a high-combed Monte Carlo style for rapid scope picture acquisition. Both the front and rear iron sights were off-the-shelf Williams products featuring ramps that set high enough to meet the sight line required. They were screw-mounted, which was a good idea because big objective scopes required removal of the rear sight. I fitted my old 1966 243 with my son's Bausch & Lomb 6.5 - 20X varmint scope before giving him the rifle.  Front and rear irons went into a Baggie for him, plug screws substituted. An easy task.

Hi Zeb-
If I'd wanted to mess around inside somebody's head I would have become a psychiatrist.  Better hours and (usually) less blood...
One of the "exercises" I've done for "the book" has been to put together a Chapter wherein I COMPLETELY disassembled a "representative" M70 (an early Type I-1 G7004C) so that I could show and describe every part (including pins, springs, screws, etc.) that went into one.  Naturally, that involves disassembling the bolt sleeve.  So I know how the safety works, even if I'm not qualified to work on one... 
And before you ask... YES... I also put the rifle back together, all by myself, with no "professional help".  AND it still works!!! 
Cheers,
Lou
