Model 70 Featherweight

[smith&colt]

Hi guys, I have an older blued Model 70 Featherweight with the wood stock with schnabel forend in 22-250 that is probably 90-92%...I'm planning on selling it at the next gun show and was wondering what kind of price tag to put on it??

Need more info. There is a big difference depending on whether it is a pre-64, post-64, or an XTR,. A pre-64 will bring twice as much as an XTR which should go for $600-$700.

it's a post 64

Anecdotally, I'd have a hard time ever buying a used 22-250 unless the price was low because the odds the barrel is shot out are high. Consider many of your potential buyers may feel the same way.

A potetial buyer can buy a brand new one just like it for $700. The new Winchesters made in South Carolina are better than any Winchester ever made including the pre-64's. I'd expect a PF in that caliber to bring around $350. You might get lucky and find someone who would pay as much as $450.

A pre-64 made after WW-2 in a common configuration and chambering is not worth all that much. They are not worth anymore than a new rifle. Most are only bringing $500-$700 now.

Some of the rare configurations or ones in rare chamberings are bringing a premium as are many made in the 1920's and 1930's.

whats going to hurt your sale price more then anything is that its chambered in 22250. Most guys wanting featherweights want them in deer calibers. Around here anyway that would be a hard combo to peddle.

JMR40, There were no model 70's made in the 1920's.... I think you're thinking of model 54's...
