Was the Winchester model 70 pre 64 originally chambered in 300 weatherby mag?

No, but it was in 300 win. mag.
Actually, the only 30 caliber magnum it was offered in was 300 H&H. Some of these rifles were reamed out to 300 weatherby since the 300 weatherby uses a 300 H&H case blown out with the shoulder reset.

Is a 308 Winchester different from a 308 Weatherby?
There is no such cartridge as a ".308" weatherby, only a .308 Winchester, interchangable with the 7.62 Nato. Once upon a time, Weatherby only made rifles in unique weatherby cartridge calibers, eg. .300 weatherby, .378 weatherby, .460 weatherby, etc. Now weatherby makes rifles in many non-weatherby cartridge calibers, including the .308 Winchester. Do not confuse a rifle manufacturer with the company name that may have introduced the cartridge in which the rifle may be chambered. To further get your head spinning, many cartridge companies make cartridges (all equivalent) in the .308 Winchester caliber including Winchester, Remington, federal, norma, and multiple European companies. The short answer is yes they are the same. If you see a weatherby rifle chambered in .308, (and not .308 Norma Magnum), it is a .308 Winchester caliber (Winchester rifles exist in .308 Winchester caliber). The weatherby rifle is most likely a weatherby 'Vangard' model (a cheaper line of rifles manufactured by weatherby). Top of the line weatherby model rifles are noted for their high prices, ornate stocks and high power weatherby calibers (the .460 weatherby magnum is the most powerful factory cartridge in the world, about 80% more muzzle energy than the .458 Winchester magnum, first sold in Winchester's African model 70 rifle).
Was the Winchester model 70 chambered in 7mm weatherby mag?
I'm not sure if that chambering was in regular production,but even if it wasn't, Winchester bent over backwards for their customers and would fill special requests.The quickest way to tell for sure is to take a close look at the barrel of the gun.If it says Winchester model 70, New Haven, Ct. AND 7mm Weatherby on the barrel, it's factory issue.

What is a Winchester Model 70 chambered in 300 Weatherby worth?
A pre '64 Model 70 in very good condition, and re-chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum with the correct leade by an experienced gunsmith would bring in the neighborhood of $600.00 - $800.00. A person who wanted a very hard hitting .30 caliber cartridge combined with one of the most reliable American rifles ever produced would have no trouble paying the prices noted above. The rifle is no longer in original condition because it has been re-chambered for a cartridge for which was not offered by Winchester; thus, it has lost any value as a "collector's item". However, for one who wishes the combination of an excellect proven .30 caliber cartridge in an excellent proven rifle, a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum is hard to beat.
