What is a Winchester Model 70 Supergrade 300 RUM Worth?

[gunner83]

I have a 2001 Winchester Model 70 300 Remington Ultra Mag made in the New Haven Connecticut plant. It has two boxes of Ammo down the tube and is in 98-99% condition. This was a special order from a distributor, to my knowledge only 400 were made. The last one that I saw sold on Gunbroker for around $3K. Does anyone know what it might be worth?

I'd say around $3000 on GunBroker.

I think the last one that I saw on gunbroker was around the time that the New Haven Connecticut Plant shut down. You just don't see them very often.

I was just being an arse. I have no idea what it's worth.

That's ok, I am totally immune to smart arses.

Without trying to be a smart-arse, I'd say it's probably worth a similar amount to what's mentioned above, plus just a shade more because of "inflation". Three grand isn't anything to sneeze at.
If it was unfired and there were only 400 of them made, I'd guess it could continue increasing in value. Being fired and not NIB will adversely affect value to a serious collector. The 300RUM is a hot muther and most "users" won't pay a collector price for a gun they'll tote and use. The RUM has been surpassed by newer cartridges, at least according to recent trends.
If it was mine and I wanted to sell it, I'd list it a bit more than that "old" value and see what happens. It's easy to start high and drop the price. If you're trying to insure it, use the old sales price and adjust at the normal inflation rate from then to now.
FYI, my opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it.

And then there's this...
