Worth of Winchester 308 bolt gun, possibly pre 60's

[noload]

My 73 year old female non shooting cousin wants to know what her fathers gun is worth. I don't know my way around these old dear rifles, your help would be appreciated. I have more pics of the stock (it looks kind of beat up). I'm just looking for a ball park figure to tell her. Also what model is it ? Mod 70 ?

The rifle is a pre 64 Winchester model 70 Featherweight. If the rest of the rifle is in as good condition as the photos the rifle is easily worth $1200, maybe more. Winchester collectors are easy to find and will be very interested in that one. Run a serial number search on the internet to see when it was built. Do not refinish or do any work to detract from the original factory configuration.

And don't store it in that case or it will rust.
