Sunvalleyguy, I definitely understand the Sako learning curve. I have spent over 20 years collecting Sakos and I still have much to learn.

Your action was made in 1988, it's not a "hard to find" action, and the barrel is not factory. The only WBY round Sako chambered in the AV is 300 WBY. All Sako L, A, 75 and 85 have the dovetail receiver (square bridge). Sako AVs in common chamberings generally start at around $700 and go to $1600, but can rise as high as $3,500 for Safari or Super Deluxe models. It's not uncommon to find complete, minty AVs in 7mm Rem mag, 30-06, 270, etc for $700.

Good luck on the sale, but for an AV action in the white $450-$550 is more realistic - the barrel doesn't add much if any value.
