I really couldn't say. My blue book is from '96 and it says in 100% condition $435 with a slight premium for the Win marked recoil pad but, I wouldn't go on that. Maybe someone has a little newer book and can give a better estimate. If I had to guess, being they only made that model in that caliber for 5 years and it has the Winchester marked pad, and it appears to be in excellent condition, I really hate to say but, I wouldn't let it go for less that $850 if it were mine. Of course I wouldn't let it go at all if it were mine. It may be worth more than that, or possibly less, it's really hard to say.
I found one that sold in Ohio for $750 and was new in box so $850 may be a little high, starting to think more in the $650-$700 range and that is if those sights can be safely removed without damage to the finish.

257 Fthrwt--LOVE IT
Good threat, made me happy to read it. Bought a 25 Roberts Featherweight new in 1981. 50-gr 4350 pushes 100-gr bullets pretty good, and case life is good too (I anneal and trim after 5 loadings). Fairly accurate for a light rifle, shoots better than I do out to 300+. Shot well over 100 deer (mulies and w.t.) and antelope, and even a few bull elk I bumped into while mulie hunting. Light to carry while hiking over the Montana hills. Light recoil too--my daughter's first rifle and also several other new hunters. Mine also has the Winchester red butt pad, so maybe they weren't so rare in '81. No open sights though.
