The old 70s chambered in Bob are pretty scarce to begin with, and then factor in a non-standard factory barrel and that's a unicorn. Hate that she got away.
I'm trying to be patient with that one, but it is on my list along with the Hornet and one of the H&H or other magnums.
The market is such that you aren't going to grab one of those under $1500 in any reasonable condition, or under $2000 for a nice one anymore, unless you just happen upon one that is being sold without regard to the fair market value.
I'm sitting on .270, a few in 30-06 (I love the fact that some are stamped Govt '06) and a .264.
I'll tell on myself here, but I recently got a bit skunked on what I thought was a very old 70 chambered in 25-35 with a 4 digit serial number. All I had was the listing, and two bad pictures so I bought it......knowing I'd stumbled into a special order, very early, and quite rare rifle.
When it came in I was confused by the bolt release. In doing my research, I figured out it wasn't a 70 after-all. It was a 54 (the 70's forgotten older brother) and someone had put a retro 70 3-pos safety sleeve on it which made it look for all the world like a 70 in the pics I had. I do not believe the auctioneer listed in wrong on purpose. I was fooled and I know plenty about them.
I didn't pay a premium so I was more disappointed that it didn't live up to the hype I created in my mind, and I'm not unhappy that I've got it. But.....it sure would have been cool to have a one off like that.
