Fair trade?
I have a Winchester Model 70 chambered in .223 in good condition. I've been wanting a pistol caliber carbine, specifically a lever action .357. Thinking of a Marlin 1894C. Is this a fair trade for myself and whomever I may seek to trade with?

If you have a lot of patience, go for your trade.
But selling your gun and then buying what you want will be much easier and faster.

Well, I'm in no hurry. The local news station has free online classifieds. I've had pretty good luck there. Traded a first year New Model Ruger Single Six .22 (1973) for a S&W Model 17 double action .22. Trades are like auctions, you never know what someone is willing to trade.

The Marlins are near-to-over 4-figures now in here in AZ, depending on configuration. I have zero clue on your bolt-gun, other than I would think it's a great tool for doggin' in prairie-dog territory.

Assuming your M70 is newer, and taking into consideration that .223 isn’t a particularly desirable caliber in a M70, I still think it’s worth more than a Marlin lever action in any pistol caliber except.22lr.

From what I have gathered, I believe my Model 70 was manufactured in 1984. I've not yet convinced myself to get rid of it. As much as I like the idea of a PCC and like the .357 cartridge, this small carbine is quite handy. Living on the plains of South Dakota, having a rifle with a little more range might be beneficial.

Basis for Potential
Two decades ago a friend took a M70 in 223 HB and turned it into a High Power Natl Match course rifle complete with Mid Tompkins front, and Redfield Intl rear sight, Macmillian stock w hand rail. He made some 5 round stripper clips from bandolier ball ammo h ware. I wish I had bought it when offered to me. I had shot into Master class with a m70 in 30 06 same configuration. That out of the way, I would hold out for a 30-30 or "Thuddy Thuddy" in Jack O'Connor accent.
