This model is listed in the Blue Book Of Gun Values as the same as a model 520 Savage. The value of Western Field guns is limited to the shooting value of the gun in question
The model number of your Wards Western Field.
The 740a is actually a Marlin 336 with a store brand name. The value would be about the same as a marlin 336 in the same condition. Most buyers would discount it by 15-20% for the Montgomery Ward brandname. Always suspicious that Marlin (or any other maker) just didn't maintain full quality control when they weren't putting their own name on it.
Please include the model number to get a answer to your question.
