A few years back I paid $2,700 - delivered - for a 1949 .257 Roberts in excellent original condition.

It was my first Model 70. My thought was that I might lose $500 if I turned around and sold it, but that would be an okay risk in order to own and shoot this Model 70 for awhile. To date, I have gotten at least $500 of enjoyment out of this absolutely perfect gun. Also. to put things in comparison, I once spent almost $500 of a dinner for 10 at a restaurant, and all I left with was indigestion.

Moreover, I do not know how to price No. 9 with a drilled rear bridge -- it could easily go for only half the current offer price if I went to sell it. The $7,500 offer price is probably just an invitation to deal. The seller joined Gun International just 5 days ago and did not indicate in the description that the rear bridge was drilled outside the factory
