Is $500 dollars for a winchester pre 64 model 70 feather weight in .243 a good deal ?? perfect condition!! 0 -
i asked the first question because a friend of a friend wants to sell me a pre 64 in ex. shape except it has a douglas 6mm rem barrel on it not original barrel also has a redfield scope on it for 600.00 0 -
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. 0 -

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. 0 -
Technically not a pre 64 with another barrel in my opinion. 0 -

What would you call it--technically?0 -
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. 0 -
Well lets change the stock so nothing is original. What do we have following the same logic as changing the barre? 0 -

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.0
