There was a similar rifle in 9.3x62 that went round and round on a one of the auction sites a couple years ago before it sold. But, more than 2x that price. Someone got a smoking deal on the .30-06.
Damn that was a nice gun........not many get me interested these days but that one does/did. And to think I have a pile of 30-06 factory fodder with nothing to use it in.
