Kevin, These rifles go for anywhere between $400.00 to $500.00 used. You would have a hard time finding one for less than $400.00 used, never mind a new one in the box. They are one of the best shooting rifles and I've never seen one that's not a shooter.

I have one in 223 rem, that outshoots my 700, my model 70, and any of my Rugers. It has outshot custom built model 700's and custom model 70's.

I paid about $395.00 for mine back in 97. I have no regrets. It doesn't matter what some folks paid for them 20 years ago, right
now they go for a lot more than what they paid back in the days.

I've shot mine so much during the past ten years that I'm finally getting some wear on the barrel and I have to foul it a li'l bit before the groups get real tight and I now choose to re barrel it with a Lilja 26 inch barrel rather than buy a new one.
