That's a 21F or 22F. F is for full stock. The butter knife bolt handle makes is more desirable. 8x57 more common that 7x57. Over the last 20+ years, the 8x57s that have sold from ~$800-~$1200. The full stock is more desirable as well as that bolt handle.
An 8x57 like yours was recently on Gunbroker with a minimum bid of $1900 and got zero bids.
Internet analysis: 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact
Fools & fanatics are always so certain and wise people are always so questioning

I think Mike is spot on. What you have is a helluva nice rifle. I have always wanted one but haven’t sprung for it. And I should have.
I like it! I'm a sucker for a full stock along with the btter knife bolt and I happen to be Czech. I would love a chance at buying this rifle! Nice......
I put this on gunbroker if anyone is interested. Or I'll trade for nice glass, nice rifles, maybe a custom action LA mag, or ??? Make me an offer if you have nothing to trade.
You can’t compare anything to Gunbroker. Everything is way overpriced and that’s why 90 percent of the stuff gets reposted! But if you can trick a individual in to paying twice the value it’s a good deal. Be sure to add rare, hard to find and highly desirable it will help.
