I did a trade on a nice rifle this weekend. Already have "buyers remorse" as I'm more of a bolt guy and this is more of a collector item.
It has an Octagon barrel, and a brass looking front sight, nice wood and Savage 1895 on the receiver. What can you folks tell me about it and does anyone have any interest in it? What is it worth. I could get some pictures out. Only thing I noticed on it, is it's missing the elevator part for the rear sight. Appears to be immaculate. No box though.
PLEASE HELP!!!

"1895" on the receiver? as in , gold engraving? "octagon barrel", as in 308 caliber?

That is the Savage 75th Anniversary model made in 1970. My perception/observation is that it does not peak a lot of collector interest. Usually can find one on Gunbroker closed auctions for price comparison.

I can't find anything on Gunbroker, but then I'm not real good at computers. I'd go $700. I'm not trying to get rich on it like some are. Just want to get my money out of it. Looks like this. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/830509994
