Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Why would a Remington 78 sell for so much?

Lol dang I tore one of those apart and sold the stock on eGay. I bought it off here for like $300-350... can't remember. I was just going to use the action but I shot it and ended up using the barrel. I cut flutes in it and cut it to 20" bedded it into a youth length brown precision stock and it is stupid accurate. It honestly consistently shoots 1/2" groups at 100 with 50gr v-max and varget. It's a sweet little gun. My boy is 6 weeks old today but it will be one of his first rifles. Mine was one of the rem 7s with 18 1/2" barrel also in 223 but it shoots everything just over an inch.
