Pricing these rifles is difficult as there are so few on the market particularly factoring level of finish and condition. I searched all the major auction houses and found a few to use as comps. A lot are either more utilitarian &/or in poor condition (particularly missing sights) or pristine museum pieces. This is an exceptional piece of art that you can still proudly take to the range.
