No joke. Depending on the glass, that's at least $8-900 under market value. I'm up to my ears in 30-06's and money is tight as hell right now, but I would have bought that rifle in a heartbeat.
As Finn Aagaard put it, “The reliability of the 30-06 on most of the world’s non-dangerous game is so well established as to be beyond intelligent dispute.” Put that cartridge in one of the best factory Mausers ever build and it's a winning combination.
