Help with price

[Outdoor Enthusiast]

I have a friend who is wanting to sell me his rifle. It is a Weatherby Vanguard 30-06. I think it is a Classic 1, but not sure. THe gun is a early 70s model.

What is the value of the gun? What would be a fair price? Thanks for the help.

425.00 - 450.00 if it is in nice shape.

The Classic 1 was made from 1989-92 according to the Blue Book of Gun Values. If it was made in the early 70's it more than likely is a Weatherby Vanguard. The Vanguards are worth 435.00=100%, 375.00=98%, 325.00=95%, and 295.00=90%. This is what Blue Book says. Hope this helps.

He said it was a vanguard and weatherby confirmed it was a 70s model.

is it walnut

 

[Outdoor Enthusiast]

Yeah. It is a walnut stock. Does that make a difference in the value of the gun?

 

[redblood]

It absolutely makes a difference. Walnut is more valuable and holds its value better than plastic. Guns shows are overrun with plastic guns

Not to many guns that were made in the early 70's with synthetic furniture.
