One of the first made Remington 760 223 made
I have an old Remington 760 Gamemaster in good condition in the 223 caliber. To the best of my memory it was purchased by my Dad in 1967 or 68. I'm wondering what it is worth? I went to bow hunting,for more of a challenge and now have arthritus and can't use either one, and have no children to give it to. I can supply pixs etc. Since digital photography took over as my[:(] hobby. I have several other guns I'm interested in selling to support my new habit. 
)I just looke for a serial # and if it's localed when you pull the action back it's 444003
Thanks

My book notes there's a "Premium" for 760's in .223 caliber. Unfortunately if your rifle is in "Good" condition only, that translates into a value of between $200 & $250. 0 -
Good condition in my opinion is a matter of each individuals opinion and I'm not sure how you people grade these?? I am a country boy in Pa. and would never let it go for that when I saw newer models going for more than that! 0 -
Elmo here are the ratings as used by the National Rifle Association. How would you grade your rifle using these ratings?
NRA Grade Ratings

All original parts; 100% original finish; in perfect condition in every respect, inside and out.

All original parts; over 80% original finish; sharp lettering, numerals, and design on metal and wood; unmarred wood; fine bore.
FINE
All original parts; over 30% original finish; sharp lettering, numerals, and design on metal and wood; minor marks in wood; good bore.
VERY GOOD

GOOD
Some minor replacement parts; metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned or reblued; principal lettering, numerals, and design on metal legible; wood refinished, scratched, bruised, or minor cracks repaired; in good working order.

If that is the rating system it SUCKS. A gun with none to 30% of original finish very good HAHAHA. IF someone sold me a gun and said it was very good and used that system I would be out raged. 0 -
I just pulled them off the Net, It was from the first site that I found that gave NRA ratings.
They do look kind of funny, wonder if there the ANTIQUE ratings?0 -
Have a look at this.This is from the GunBroker Auction site.

Sorry about that Elmo, these are the CORRECT NRA Standards!
NRA CONDITION STANDARDS FOR MODERN FIREARMS:
NEW: Not previously sold at retail, in same condition as current factory production.
PERFECT: In New condition in every respect.
EXCELLENT: New condition, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing perfect, (except at muzzle or sharp edges).
VERY GOOD: In perfect working condition, no appreciable wear on working surfaces, no corrosion or pitting, only minor surface dents or scratches.
GOOD: In safe working condition, minor wear on working surfaces, no broken parts, no corrosion or pitting that will interfere with proper functioning.
FAIR: In safe working condition but well worn, perhaps requiring replacement of minor parts or adjustments which should be indicated in advertisement, no rust, but may have corrosion pits which do not render article unsafe or inoperable.0 -
Thanks everyone. Using those standards I would rate this gun very good to fine. 0 -
Just looked in the new "Blue Book" Fjestad said that Remington only made (200) total 760's in .223 Caliber between 1964 & 1968.
He values it between $775 & $9950 -
