Awhile ago I was lucky to purchase a Winchester pre War pre 64 model 70 in 375H&H. The rifle is a second year production, however it has a 24" barrel that was used only on 1st year 375`s. The gun is perfect except for about
50% of the blue being worn away on the magazine floor plate from being carried by the original owner. I`ve seen the same rifle go for almost $5000 and other pre 64 gun prices go through the ceiling and I wanted to know if any of the members would know a fair value for this rifle. Thank you for any information.

 I would assume in the $1,000.00 to $1,800.00 range depending on originality and condition this is the range I see them selling for in my area. Different parts of the country bring different values. I suggest checking gun broker for similar gun sales.  Is the barrel a normal weight or one of the straight tapers? The straight tapers bring a premium.
