Nice looking rifle.
Does appear to have a few minor scuff marks that could be used to ask for a little off the asking price. Same for the barrel sling mount not being a band. A bit of nit picking.

Some details of the scope would help. Might be, or have been, a good scope. Could add a bit of value, or no added value.

If you are going to buy it for your own use and are good friends with the widow check the Blue Book of Guns and negotiate a fair deal. Otherwise if you were going to resale it, 40%-50% Blue Book Value would be fair, for a reasonable profit margin.

That is a nice one and looks all original. I have seen them on Guns International with asking prices between $6500-$10500. Check that site and others for comparables and asking prices.

Scope looks like one of the old Weaver K 2.5 or 3x.

Buy it, take it to Africa, kill a bunch of dangerous game with it.

That should be around $6,000-10,000, depends on condition.

I have not seen one in that condition sell for under $10,000… If you want to sell it to me for $6,500 please PM me and I’ll buy it right now!
