Stop bidding and count yourself lucky, as you haven't reached the seller's reserve price, so you aren't on the hook for $1700. I don't like the seller's "attitude", "let's get serious" no non-engraved 1899B in 303 Savage is worth $1700 unless it was pristine (99.99%), even with a Stith mount, Lyman Alaskan, and Lyman 29.5 tang peep sight. Well, at least it isn't to me.
