What's it Worth?

I have a 1965 Remington Model 700 .300 Win Mag. with the stainless steel 24" barrel. Bedded in an ADL stock, topped with a Redfield 3 x 9 scope. Owned this rifle for over 40 yrs. and counting. It will drive nails at 100 yds. An excellent shooting gun. Sealed the fate of many bears in SE Alaska from years past.

What might be a respectable value for a vintage firearm such as this.

You won't hurt my feelings.

Thanks for your time.

Check out GunBroker.com to find out what they are actually selling for.
 
In 1965, a very limited number of Remington Model 700 rifles in .300 Win Mag were produced with a stainless steel barrel, making them extremely rare; exact production figures are not readily available, but most sources agree that the number was likely in the low hundreds due to the technology limitations and stainless steel not being widely used in standard rifle production at that time.


Key points to consider:
  • Early Stainless Steel Adoption:
    Stainless steel barrels were not commonly available on Remington Model 700s in 1965, so any produced would be considered a special order or custom variant.
  • Limited Availability:
    Due to the novelty and potential cost of stainless steel barrels at the time, only a small number of these rifles would have been produced.
  • Collector Value:
    Today, a 1965 Remington Model 700 in .300 Win Mag with a stainless steel barrel is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity.
INTERESTINGLY, IT WOULD APPEAR THIS GUN HAS SOME HISTORICAL SIGNIFIGANCE

put that description on an auction site, and let it ride (with a reserve price) for a few days.

it could be worth a kajillion dollars, but it'll only be sold for what someone is willing to pay for it.

not everything worth a high dollar, sells for that amount, or over.....

good luck

i'd be very careful to do any refurbishing of the gun...meaning, painting or sanding/coating the wood..

collectors want original looking.

Coming up with a reserve number is something to ponder over for sure. I understand like most things it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. It's certainly not a museum piece but apparently a piece of history especially if you're a Remington firearms guru.

Thanks...I prefer the ADL stock...the drop out floor plate on the original BDL stock was "finicky" unreliable...in my case (2) things convinced me to make the change. First, the stock was split in the barrel recoil lug location, second the magazine kept shifting out of alignment causing feeding issues. The ADL stock is just a more robust stock IMHO.
