My buddy has one from 1967 l67 serial# it was a salt wood model but he had it redone new stock ect,he said he would sell it to me for 795.00 question is that a good deal and good selling # 300 mag is cal nice stock hooded front sight but the bolt is a little sloppy.

A bit steep for a non original in my view, unless the wood is really really special and exceedingly well done - not just a basic walnut stock into which the action was dropped. The bolts on mauser type actions always seem to be sloppy or 'wiggly' at the back end of the bolt throw. Been working good that way for over 100 years.

I saw a nice specimen about a month ago for $600.......
