I've got a 7.7 Arisaka that I picked up for $45 at a show (It was priced at $80, the owner said "Make me an offer." I replied "I don't want to offend you"; he said "There's no way you can.")
Bubba did some truly creative work sporterizing the stock before I ever saw it. There are no less than 14 different mismatched pieces of wood in it, and it has a $0.50 piece imbedded in the cheek piece. I think there is more money in the glue than in the wood.
It is far and away the ugliest gun I've ever owned, and it shoots as good as I can with iron sights.
