Some local store prices for reference:
Pre 64 FW 30-06, 550xxx serial, shortened stock, original blueing, 85% rifle imho, $1095 before tax
Pre 64 FW 270, 500xxx serial, original stock, original blueing, 97%rifle imho, $1195 before tax (has sat on shelves for 2 months at $1295, was lowered yesterday. I offered $1100 and was turned down)
Pre 64 FW 264 reamed to 7mm Rem Mag
500xxx serial, original stock, original blueing, $1095 before tax. Been on shelf at local store for over 6 months. I offered $750 respectfully as it is a consignment piece and was told to wait a few more monts
These all strike me as being relatively high and as evidenced by them not moving, this supports my theory.
