    I'm not aware of any M70 that was chambered for a 6mm Rem, or as it was known at that time, 244 Rem. That said, $600 for such a rifle sounds like a very good buy to me.

    A bare rifle, in excellent shape is probably worth $500-$600.
    There is no collector value, it's just a good rifle, and should be a tack driver.
    I had a 722 Remington in 6mm with a bull barrel, it was very accurate.

    Negative. Big red W went with the 243 rather than the marginally faster 6mm which was Remington's attempt to market a fast 6mm in response to Winchester's 243 which came on the market first.

    Technically not a pre 64 with another barrel in my opinion.

    What would you call it--technically?

    If it is all original except for the barrel and in excellent condition it would be worth the money in parts or to filnd a original barrel and put it on.

    Well lets change the stock so nothing is original. What do we have following the same logic as changing the barre?

    The action is what differentiates one model from another. If the action is a Winchester Model 70 that was made in 1952, then the gun is a pre'64. If the barrel has been changed and the stock has been changed, leaving only the action, the gun is still a Win M70 pre'64. It's not an "all original", but nonetheless it is still a gun based on a pre'64 action. When Al Biesen made rifles there was very little that remained "original", but they are still considered pre'64 M 70s.
