What is a very good pre 64 Model 70 in 220 swift worth. Update on condition.

There are certain cartridge cases that just beg to be "improved". One of them is definitely the 220 Swift.

I looked at a really nice older Sako Varmint model 220 Swift a few months ago. It was in like new condition but I cheaped out and ended up not buying it. As is par for the course, now I'm regretting not buying it. :(

Same thing happened to me 6 or 7 years ago.
Local gun shop had a "used" but looked brand spanking new BRNO 602 in 375 H&H Mag. for $ 1,000 Canadian pesos. I didn't buy it that day. I came back 7 days later with money in hand with the idea of having it Ackley Improved.
Walked in the LGS with a smile on my face only to be told it sold yesterday !!!
:(
This rifle for sure had no more than 1 box of ammo through it. I'd swear it was new if the salesman didn't tell me it was a used rifle.

I will regret not buying it right away for the rest of my life. And I don't even have any use for anything that powerful.
 
I quit bidding at $1400, plus 16% buyers premium and taxes. Auction is ending in a few minutes, looks like $2000 or so.
