Pre 64 Model 70 270

Hi there,
I have inherited a pre 64 Model 70 Winchester in a 270 caliber. I am wondering what it is worth. It is in great shape, but it does not have the original stock on it. The new stock is a gorgeous walnut stock, but it is clearly not the original. Unfortunately I do no have the original. I know that it hurts the value, but how much does it hurt the value? I would love any feedback on this gun. It is a great gun and a tack driver, but I have gotten into pheasant hunting and would like to sell or trade it for a shotgun.
Thank You for any help on this.

Hello, and welcome to the forums here on Gunbroker.com.
The rifle you describe has lost it's collector value. That being said, it is still way more of a rifle, than what you can sell it or trade it for(read this as bring your own vasoline, as the buyer's or traders will not offer it). It is definately more of a rifle, than you will get of a shotgun in return. I know the "pre-64's", are big money, but only in 95% all original condition or bettr. without the stock, that was original to the rifle, you have lost at least 50% of the value. You might get $400.00-600.00 on a real good day.

Thank you for your insight. It is a gorgeous gun and an amazing shooting gun. I think that I will follow your advice and just keep it and enjoy it. It is a great deer hunting gun, and I will just save some cash for a new shotgun.
