Without pictures of the rifle we can speculate all day what it is worth. While people might ask $1000-2000+ for a Pre-64 that doesn't mean it is worth that much. The rifle is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. There are quite a few sub $1000 Pre-64 Winchesters out there if a person looks around.
If you can post some detailed pictures of the rifle and that will help you to get a more realistic idea of what it is worth. If pictures aren't an option, you can search gunbroker as well. Don't search current auctions, instead go into the advanced search options and search for Pre-64 M70's that have sold and find what similar condition rifles in .30-06 went for. That will give you a realistic price of what they are selling for.
