Model 70, mid 1960s? Under $200. In 1971 I bought an L-579 Sako Forester carbine for about $220, and a Weatherby Mark V for $315. NIB. Prices were up by then from LBJ's guns'n'butter monetary policy.
A guy bought a Model 70 in .458, shot it a very few times, and traded it back to McBride's in Austin. Jack put it in the rack at $150; "like NIB". 1968 or 1969, thereabouts.
In 1966 I gave $65 for a NIB convertible Blackhawk and $60 for a four-digit 1911.
