Some pic's of the back side of the butt plate, need to see the forging/casting marks. Very difficult to tell from the photos but the stock may be a Italian issue from the 50/60's, maybe not.

The rest looks very nice. If it's a USGI stock it's a 2k+/- rifle, if not maybe 1k+. Look at the completed auctions on gunbroker and look at what actually got bids and sold.
