Hill Country Rifles Question

I have this rifle in hand:
It is marked "Hill Country Rifles" on the barrel and is chambered for .270 WSM. It is obviously a Winchester Model 70 action, but it's a custom job, and may have been re-barreled.
Hill Country Rifles is a real deal, and they build some very expensive rifles, but I don't see one like this in their catalog.
Rings and bases are Talley.
Any idea when it was built, or what it should sell for?

I know most of their Rifles start at the 5,000.00 and go up from there. I had contacted them several years ago about building a 338-06 for me and with supplying a action they wanted over 3 grand back then decided I didn't what a 338-06 that bad
I got this email in response to my question:
Hi David.
It looks like that action was sent to us by the customer as the serial number does not come up in our search of actions we purchased.
So, I can't find the original work sheet or invoice.
It looks like we rebarreled to 270 WSM, most likely with a Benchmark, stainless, 10 twist barrel.
I expect we did our full Accurizing service into the McMillan stock and Cerakote metal finish on the metal.
Currently, this would be our Deluxe Accurizing ($2195) plus McMillan stock ($700).
I hope that helps.

Take it to the range & see how well it shoots.
If you put that up for auction let me know. Thanks, Steve
I did. Here it is:
