Just curious if someone could help me put a value on this rifle. Ruger no 1 in 257 weatherby with heavy barrel, custom picatinny rail has been made for scope mount and trigger job has been done

Picture helps a little. My evaluation (I owned numerous red pads over the years) would be in the $750-800 range. Someone may really like it and it would go up from there. Good caliber and may be some more interest/value due to caliber popularity and possible scarcity.

I just didn't know if changing barrel and taking dove tail mount off would hurt the value or help it

It is unique and modifications will take a lot of buyers out of the game but may be of some value to shooters/hunters. Purists wouldn't give $400 for it whereas someone who likes the work and caliber may give more than market for an unmolested one.

Speaking as a non-purist/non-collector who buys guns, it's a cool rifle just how it is. 257WBY is a desirable cartridge and exactly the kind you'd get in a Ruger #1. If a rifle doesn't come with picatinny I put one on immediately.

Unless you know the specifics on the aftermarket barrel it'll hurt the value a lot. Nobody knows the quality of the work. Round count, as it's a barrel burner. And if there is any safety or accuracy issues. That's a high pressure round on that receiver. And in my opinion I'd take that mount off that is not designed for that rifle at all and that will help the "looks" buyers. Also info on the trigger job would help. Value could be all over. $500-850.

Is the stock painted or is that synthetic stuff? I cant tell. Probably the action is worth something for a custom build, if a fella wanted to go that route. I would say the value is whatever you can get out of it.
