Christmas night specials include an M1 Carbine with late or post WWII upgrades like adjustable sight and bayonet lug. Maker's mark (under rear of rear sight) not visible. I'm guessing but around $600.

German P38s, one WW II issue, make and date not visible in angled photo; one post war P1. The wartime gun might be worth $500, the postwar $300, based on prices at AIM.

The rifle looks like what was known as a Winchester Model 70 National Match, the standard weight barrel in their Marksman target stock; with peep rear and globe front sights. I don't think I have ever seen one outside the catalogs. Which may not make it real valuable, the bloom seems to be off the pre-64 Winchesters.
