Winchester pre 64?
I found a Winchester model 70 pre 64, I think the store owner told me that it is was made in 1949, with an old Weaver 4 power scope. It looked to be in good condition, small nick in the forearm was about the worstspot on it. What is a gun like this worth? He told me he would take $650.00 for it, is that a fair price?

Is it a Featherweight? What caliber? Is it a Super Grade? Is it a gun you need to complete your collection? These are all determining factors to consider. Get the Blue Blook of Gun Values by S.P. Fjestad if your looking at it as an investment only. This is the Bible of gun values.

Well, I don't know what they are bringing in your part of the world, but from the condition you described, the price seems decent. They are a sought-after gun. One thing you may want to keep in mind....I seriously doubt that their value is ever going to decrease on the market, and has been steadily increasing over the years. The last several years and more recently since Winchester went down have shown lots of collector interest.

A lot depends on what caliber. There is a store down the road from where I work that hasa 375H&H pre-64 right now, they are asking $4000 for, and will probably get close to that in this area. I haven't seen too many pre 64M70s go undera grand recently, I would jump on it.

I did the same thing at a gun show a couple years back. A guy had a '59, the tag said "300 mag" it was $600. I already had 3, .300WM's I got to the other side of the building and it dawned on me that it was a 300H&H. It wasn't fifteen minutes and it was gone : ( Like the man said, never dilly dally
