An old beater 30-30 if you find one is north of $600......
I sold one last fall for $550 and was swamped with interest.
I will look it upSomeone is selling a Winchester 30-30 on huntbc. com
Pre 1964 the Win. 30-30 lever actions were very high quality and machined out of very good steel. After that date they were stamped out, I guess to save some manufacturing costs. As a result the pre 64's developed a legendary status and everybody wanted one greatly upping their value if you could even find one. My brother has a pre 64 Win lever action 30-30 in superb condition. The change over became the gun version of the New Coke marketing disaster. I am not certain, but I think Winchester went back to making the old design quality version at some point. So it really comes down to what you find as some are considered undesirable, some are desirable and some have legendary status.An old beater 30-30 if you find one is north of $600......

No Idea in today's world Newf. It must be 30 years or so since I had mine. I got it used for around $400 which was likely a good deal as I was a cheap ******* in those days and only had it for a year or two and assume I sold it for around the same. I think they would sell for more now. Browning makes good quality rifles and a 308 is a more powerful and longer range rifle than a 30-30. Put down a big Black Bear at very close range, much closer than I was happy with. 3 rounds in it real quick pumping the lever. Had a tag and it was a deep woods bear (no garbage eating) and tasty.What's a 20 year old Browning 308 Level action worth?? Ballpark.
Bought a BLR, Lightweight, pistol grip in .308 for my middle son 3 years ago, paid right around $1300 for it from a local shop.These days a Browning BLR in 308 will run you upwards of $700.
If you do find one for $700, jump on it right away.
Very popular with the hunting community.
Personally, bolt action is the only way to go for me.

Two years ago roughly our local CT was changing hands. The owner that was getting out of it and taking over a new store ( the Langley store ) didn’t want to take his gun inventory with him. So he put them on a massive sale. I kept waiting and watching, it paid off. Bought a brand new Browning BLR in .300 wsm for just around $600. Crazy that’s a $1300 gun on the shelf. I didn’t need the gun but couldn’t pass it up. I ended up giving it to my youngest boy.
Thanks Rockfish. I have one that I haven't used since I moved to the island 7yrs ago. Shot a few moose with it in Northern Alberta but gave up hunting when I moved. I will have to dig it out and clean it up.No Idea in today's world Newf. It must be 30 years or so since I had mine.
