Very nice. Is it a 6 digit?
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

First digit appears to be a “1,” so it should be. 308 in that configuration is going to be a 5 or 6 regardless.

Be prepared, the last one sold for $1400 last week. That one had a walnut stock and a BOSS though.

I don't like auctions, tell me what you want and if I'm willing to pay that, we've got a deal. Auctions can get crazy. Nice rifle, for sure.
Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...

Yeah, you never know with an auction. Sometimes it's the guy that's consumed the most alcohol, or the one with the biggest ego that ends up winning.

Surprised the [bleep] out of me as it wasn’t in pristine shape and as bsa pointed out, was a boss. Had sold earlier this spring for well under 1K - saw it when initially posted and then seller (pawn shop) ended it early. Somebody in Elizabethton TN is pretty happy. And hopefully the buyer is as well - but as BSA points out above, you NEVER know - sometimes it’s just guy who has a few and says “F it” and hits that buy it now button (please don’t ask how I know.)

I can see this short action. 473" stainless synthetic bringing $1,100.00 though.. Dollars to donuts it sells for $1500 plus. I don't believe they made very many Classic's in 308, in any configuration. You almost never see them, and almost everybody wants one. When I bought my two in 308 (Classic Stainless Walnut and Classic Compact) for barely over $550 each new, ........damn I wish I'd bought 10.
