pre 64 30-06? Gunbroker auction

Yes. The action is likely worth that, assuming no previous plunder.

I'd not hesitate to buy it for a scabbard gun. I'd gamble that it's still in good accuracy and in worst case a good action for a project in 9.3 X 62 or something.

Personally it's not worth more than $600 IMO.....

That would clean up to be a very nice rifle. Clean and degrease the metal. Go over it with Oxpho-blue. The wood could get a washing and rub down with steel wool or green scrub pad. Follow that up with Linseed oil with a little stain in it. Take some before and after pictures You will surprize yourself.

Or just use the action to make a new rifle. : )

It's about worth its current bid IMO

That looks like my pre-64 except the wood isn't chewed up enough!
