Yeah, $2000 seems to be a general ceiling for any of the more sought after blued guns with stainless sometimes topping out a tad more, and even those prices are high with the market going soft these days. That guy at $2800 is willing to wait for just the right buyer or for inflation to catch up to his price. There is a stainless .300 WM starting at $2000 that will probably sit at that price a while. That's offered by Larry's in Nampa, ID, which is a nice enough store but you're not going to find any great deals there.
Funny how the market is, .270, .30-06 and .375 H&H bring the top dollars while the 7mm RM, .300 WM and the WSM calibers don't generally fetch near as much. That said there is a LH .270 Sporter model - those are from the original left hand run Winchester made in the late 90's - that is getting no love at a $1650 starting bid. I'm wondering if MRC has bitten into the Model 70 LH market at all? Two years ago any LH .30-06 in decent shape would start a bidding war, maybe now folks are sitting back and thinking, hmmm, a used Winchester at 15 or 18 bills versus a NIB Montana 1999 clone for $1000 or $1100 thereabouts?
