1968 model 70 in 270 Win

[eagle rider]

Im in my local shop last night and he's got what i think is either an old westerner or a featherweight on the wall. Looks to be clean with a bright bore. Not the best looking piece of walnut but good overall and good steel inside and out. Wants i think $550 ish. Says he looked up the serial and its a 1968 production 70. Thoughts????

I like owning and shooting the older sporters. My BAR's are 1968 and 70. I have a 1976 model 336C is 35 Rem. that i like to hunt with on occassion as well. I think there was something to the older stuff.

I don't think there is a lot of collector interest in post  1964 model 70s,  but  they are solid, functional firearms  and as far as I know they at as accurate as the coveted pre- 64 models..

If the rifle is in good shape, I would say that $550, while not a SMOKIN' deal, is a fair price .

deal is off, he won't move on the price south of $640.  It would be cool to own but not for that much.

I'd say $500 would be ballpark for very good condition  it's not a pre 64 and in the second most produced cartridge.if it was a 7x57 264 win mag or 6.5 swede you could expect to pay $640 to $800
