Help! I have this gun....
So, I have recently been gifted a pre-64 production Winchester model 70 .30-06 rifle. It is in near perfect condition, but I have no use for it.
From my understanding, this firearm is quite valuable. It's serial # is 570XXX, indicating that it is either a late 1962 or early 1963 production and it has the matching serial bolt.
How or what can I do with this? What I'd really want to do is trade it for a boat like a mid-90's bayliner or one of those little jet boats.
I'm just looking for advice here, not to sell it or anything, as I know that would violate some rules of FTE.

Congrats on the Pre-64 Winny.
Look on some of the sites like Gunbroker, etc., to see what they are selling for.
Keep in mind....... IF this rifle is in as good a shape as you say, it COULD BE worth a LOT of $$$.
A gunshop (FFL holder) around here, will typically offer to buy at 50% of the retail value, then sell at 75% to 99% of retail.
The bottom line............... the SELLER usually gets the short-end of the stick.
There used to be a commercial played around here, regarding suits/men's clothing, that is appropriate for this (especially!).........
"An educated consumer, is our best customer."
