Well, the person I know is dear, and I think I will give him the $1100 CDN he has mentioned before. The wood is fantastic, and the blueing is as deep as I have ever seen. Here is the other funny thing about this rifle: it has never been tapped for a scope, and has dual folding island sights with an ivory front bead. He said he bought it that way from Eatons many years ago.
Any ideas on real worth?
