If the rifle has or had iron sights on it and now wears a scope, value is decreased from collector values. An original Model 70 that is in MINT condition and in "nonstandard" calibers will bring the most. If modified at all and in standard calibers, no collector value to a "collector". Still, they are great rifles to own and shoot.
I would say at retail values and waiting for the right buyer, $3150 for the lot is fair. If you want some buffer room so you won't loose money and / or you want to make a profit, then I would say $2200 to $2500 for the lot.
