Win M70
There are about a thousand (only a slight stretch) different variations of the M70, going back to 1936. The 7mm WSM is a relatively new cartridge, so the gun can't be that old. $350 would be a more than fair price for a used M70 in good condition, but unless it is a high end model (fancy wood or engraving or some special commemorative model) it wouldn't be worth a lot more than that.

I agree, the 7mm wsm is the least popular of the wsm cartridges. I bought one in a model 70 super shadow (I believe that what it was called) in 7mm wsm from a friend of a friend that needed money for $200 with a scope. It cost me a fortune to shoot it. About $40 a box. Didn't impress me any, kicked like a mule, accuracy was so-so. I would just as soon have a 7mm rem magnum. Also, I may know someone that has a rem 700 in 270 wsm for sale if your interested.
