Was not sure where to put this. Has anybody checked out the cost of Whitworths latley?? They are on Gunbroker for $1200 to $1600.. I have some Whitworths but won't be getting any more if that's the new peice.. Supply and demand? Just wondering how high they will go?? Any Thoughts | ||

Supply and demand. There's a resurgence in getting older rifles that worked even though the prices are way too high. Used to be 475Guy add about 2000 more posts | |||

Some guy posts an over-priced Whitworth and the rest follow. If they sell they're not over-priced. One of them has a muzzle brake and they still want $1200. Good luck. Whitworth's are nice but not that nice. ------------------------------- Will / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Agreed, imo, they're $700-$850 rifles. Used to be 475Guy add about 2000 more posts | |||

just run down to your local gunshop and have them order you a couple...they call them Remington 798s now, and they're identical except for no express sights (front or rear), piss poor finish on the metalwork, and a piece of plywood, poorly inletted, for a stock. They are overpriced, just like Pre-64 Model 70's, and they are not coming down anytime soon. Rich DRSS Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost... | |||

Sur5er... I see they are for sale.. But i don't see them selling yet for that price. I think they will in another 5 years. IMHO Joshua 24:15 www.teamfaithfull.net / My granddaughter "Multitudes loose the sight of that which is, by setting their eyes on that which is not". | |||

Also a lot people trying to sell Interarms Safari rifles as real Whitworths which they are not. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Best deal I could find on a Whitworth 375 H&H last year was $900 plus shipping and that was without the iron sights. Prices have just gone up - look for 416s or 458s on any of the gun auctions now and you will find very few less than $1200. "Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult." | |||
