any Idea the year or what the value of the rifle could be not that I would get rid of it obviously but insurance reasons....

The magazine is there, but missing the floorplate, spring, and follower.

Pretty stock. The rifle pictured is a commercial Mauser action. The parts are pretty standard, and available many places. Gun Parts Corp (formerly Numrich Arms), Brownells, maybe even Cabellas or Gander Mountian (not sure about the last two).

The trick will be finding a floor plate that best matches the bluing of your rifle.

The current market value of these kinds of rifles is not high, and is often actually less in terms of value than they originally sold for.
$350-500 range depending on lots of factors, including local demand.

You could always try one of these magazines.

You might have the missing parts and not realize you do. These guns did not use a removable box magazine but had an internal magazine consisting of bottom plate, spring and follower. Like this

That 25-06 is made on a Large Ring "GEW Length" Mauser
All you need is a Military type GEW floor plate, a follower and a magazine spring.

Love that flash and dash style of the Flaigs and Weatherbys. Like holding old Hollywood in your hands. Please come back and show us what it can do.
