Says 30-06Is that rust on barrel or dust?Stock looks carved upThe mod 70's get over $1200 if in decent shape with original stock, butt plate etcThis does not look in that great of shape. I would examine bore, shoot it and if in good shape not a bad deal for $600 but would not say great deal
I would buy it right away.
Also curious how you tell if it's a "Super Deluxe" model
Just bought for $600

It's not there, or was replaced with a non-Super Grade floorplate when they did the scroll work. Also should have a gold bead front sight. It would also have really nice wood, but that wouldn't be worth much now as it is carved. As long as they didn't do any scroll work on the receiver itself, you can't go wrong value-wise on this gun. Floorplates and stocks can be replaced. I'd buy it right now if I had the opportunity, and I need another 30-06 Winchester 70 like I need a face-to-face audit with the IRS.
Do a google search on Win pre 64 mod. 70 super grade and look at the photos. Scroll down and there are a couple of photos with the same scroll engraving. It could be a rare one and paying a good appraiser could be helpful.
