from what I understand there was a pretty widely publicized author named Lester Womack that did quite a bit of custom gunsmithing on winchesters and remingtons from the early 60s to early 90s so it is entirely possible that the rifle you are looking at is a remington 700 that Lester Womack re barreled to .240 WBY. if it is the same womack then this would be a pretty rare specimen however I doubt it is going to be a highly sought after piece just because of the man who worked on it. google search brings up a few descriptions of rifles he has worked on that sound pretty similar to what you describe.
