AlleghanyMountain: Well, if in fact, Mr. Roger Rule has inspected this Rifle first hand (as is inferred in the listing you linked to!) then it is much more than likely, it's legit.
I am puzzled about the $215.00 (two hundred and fifteen dollars) shipping fee. Apparently after you burp up the rather high "minimum bid" you must burp up another rather high batch of money to have it shipped to you?
No bids yet - not to surprising there.
The 300 Savage pre-64 Winchester Model 70's are indeed VERY rare birds (362 total manufactured!).
My feelings is this is indeed a $10,000.00 + Rifle - maybe $12,500.00 or $13,000.00?
I would be surprised if it sells for MORE than the asking minimum bid ($17,500.01 - don't forget that penny when bidding!).
But keep in mind there are a lot of people out there that are in the class of "money is no object"!
Just have to find ONE that is interested in ultra-rare pre-64 Winchester Model 70's.
Hold into the wind
