For a custom M98 Jeffrey bolt action in .375 H&H? The rifle is in excellent condition, no rust super nice wood with a leupold VXIII 1-5x20.
This is an awesome rifle, but it's pretty pricey. It would really take a lot of soul-searching for me to buy it.
Just curious what you guys think a rifle of this description would go for.
Give me some input and I'll tell you what the seller is asking for it.

If it were a "name" gunsmith up to $10K. Assuming it's from an unknow but the work is really nice then $3500 to $5000.

I charge 10% for appraisals..pick the one you like and send the fee to your favorite charity.

if it is a W.J. Jeffrey, I would expect it to be between $4500-6500

Marc wins the prize. (slap on the back and an attaboy)
The gun is on consignment at a shop here in Fort Worth.
It is a W.J. Jeffrey and it is an absolute beauty.

Asking price - $6500

If it's a Jeffery (not Jeffrey), in the condition you describe, $8,000 wouldn't buy it if it weren't for that scope and the attendant drill holes.

Still, at $6,500, it would be worth a good hard look!
