No iron sights, serial number 70-60731. I know some guys really like these Flat Bolts. I am considering buying this one. Would you expect this to be from the Douglas barrel era? What would you pay for it? Your thoughts appreciated.

Strong smooth action. I paid $450 for mine 2 years ago with a custom stock. Custom stock probably took $100 off the value.

I mean American... give me the old school Rugers any day....even with a bad barrel..
