The rifle is overpriced and there is no collector interest because of the recoil pad and side mount holes. Why anyone would put a sidemount on a rifle that is tapped on top is beyond me.

The term "Ways to kill an otherwise nice rifle" come to mind.
I can't tell you the number of 88s I've handled and or looked at with recoil pads on them with premium price tags attached. I just walk away shaking my head.
The 358 would be great, but dang that one has some issues and at $2500, I wouldn't walk away, I'd run.

I live in GA and this site shows more overpriced guns than any other place I've seen. Plain Parker SxS...ruined by a recoil pad, $7,500. LC Smith 12 ga with no finish remaining, $1,500...and the list goes on and on. Plain Jane Rem 700's, $900 and up....Good Lord.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
