Pre 64 model 70 in 243

[on_the_rox]

Friend of mine has acquired a model 70 that is pre 64, s/n 4500xx. It is a 243 with a bull barrel. He is looking for information about value. These range widely in value and he just wants to narrow that down.

Desirable rifle, heavy barrel in good condition will range from 1000.00 to 1800.00 or so, lot depends on condition. Pristine close to unfired might bring 3k but almost has to be NIB.

Is it a Super Grade?

My Grandfather left me a pre 64 Super Grade .270, it seems like the value of fudd rifles has been pretty stagnant over the past 5-7 years. What scope is that in the pic?

Scope is a Leopold. I need to get more specs from him.

It's not a Super Grade, Super Grade stock will have an ebony fore end tip and a steel grip cap.

I saw a pre-64 Model 70 .243 bull barrel at a shop in Timonium earlier this year.

Toyed with buying it. Had a period correct scope also, but I forget the brand. May have been Redfield, but I'm not sure of specifics.

I think they wanted $950 for the one I saw.

It is a Model 70 varmint rifle. From what I can see in the pic, I would place its value at around $1200-1500 for the rifle alone.
