I deal in guns quite a lot, and often in older Winchesters. I am not offened my any offer, feeling that any real cash offer is welcome. I can accept, not accept or counter. The gun is worth the 1K with ease, but no harm in offering less if you think you can do better, so long as you are dealing with an equal in the gun trading biz or nearly so. Do buy it if you can.

LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
