I have a standing request at my LGS to let me know if he ever gets in a Model 70, Pre 64.
I was at the LGS this morning and he showed me the following Model 70, 30-06.

The LGS owner and myself both realize this is NOT a Pre 64 rifle as it carries the serial number
700324. The rifle is very early, #324, in the 1964 redesign. Its near perfect in all respects, i.e.; wood is perfect, bore bright, all bluing like net. The rifle shows little to no use. His asking price is $399 out the door.

So, this begs the question;

Since this rifle is number 324 (low) in the 1964 redesign, does that give it any collector value at all or is it just a 1964 Winchester that is very clean. I don’t need or want another 30-06 in my safe, unless there is a serious reason to buy it.

Thanks for your thoughts

Paul,

The serial number does nothing to improve the value of that rifle in my opinion. It is just an early production post-63 production Model 70.

Bert, Thanks for your thoughts/opinion.  Your reply is what I guessed…….Just a low number Post 64

It stays at the LGS

 

Thank You
