What is a Winchester Model 70 chambered in 300 Weatherby worth?

Answer 1

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.
