Not sure what he's decided. I am in a position to help but the rifle would be extra to my "needs" as I already have a tang safety M-77 in .338 Win.

He's got a Model 71 and I've (jokingly) tried to convince him he should sell that and keep the .338...

Brian, I picked my son's tang safety off a rack that had 5 (reply)

tang safety 77s...pro'ly a M70 and 700 in there too, but I wanted a old 77 for myself. Then he needed it... If you ever get out to the Nortwest, check out the pawn shops...
Askins, Keith, et al...I NEW I wanted a 375 and a .338.
I hope you have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

I would have to say the GB sales and Rob have provided as good a peak at values as anyone could hope for. Must say, a 338 has always been on my want list, having been an EK fan since a very young age. Just have not been able to justify the expense for one here in MI though.

push feeds are, to me closer to the 500 mark if as new the Classics tend to go towards the higher end. I bought a LNIB, SS/syntho stock .338 win mag M70 classic action 5 years ago for 650.00 OTD in AK, where they are Highly valued.

Price check, Model 70 aisle please

A friend has lost his job and is trying to decide if he wants to sell of his Model 70. I don't know much about it or them but I'll relate what is known and would appreciate a fair worth point.

Mid 80's Model 70 in .338 Winchester; he'll be keeping the scope...there, that's it. If it's a particular version, that is unknown to me. I do not believe it to be one of the high end models.

Sorry for the dearth of information.

Thanks for any and all help!

Edited to add: GB seems to be running $500-700 or so in their completed auctions.
