So pretty much a gamble. I could offer him $2.5k for some buffer room, and either break even, or find out the model 70's are worth a couple grand a piece to a collector (which I see them going for $1k to $10k depending on model/caliber/condition). I also just found out the Model 70 in 220 swift is the target/heavy barrel variation and is around 1952 production. The model 70 in 270 is around 1947-49.
