    From $250 to $2250 depending on condition.

    There are at least 3 sub-models of this rifle. There was a very good piece in the American Rifleman in the 50's or 60's concerning this arm. As V35 indicates there is a wide spread of values not only dependent upon condition but upon the specific model. In any case, that sidemount MAY part of the issued rifle, I believe: if so, there would be no rear barrel sight. If that is the case, you have a high-end rare piece (ref: G. Madis' "The winchester Book, pp291-4). If the sale isn't pressing, suggest you investigate a little further.
