It has a cracked stock that was badly repaired with glass. maybe 60 finish left. and a rough but not pitted bore. It shoots great, delivering 3" groups consistently wit iron sights from the bench.

A guy at a club I belong to offered me $300 for it, but I saw on I think it was gunbroker where a bunch of parts(basically everything but the action) for one of these went for $300.

Whats a fair rice for this puppy?

Hard to say without inspecting the gun...but with 60% finish and shooting that well, I'd want $450 if it were mine...I would look around and replace the stock even if it took me awhile to find one...

Thanks for the reply. I did find a company that makes replacement stocks for it for $65, but haven't the time or inclination to finish it.

I'll see if I can't negotiate a better price.

Thanks again.

Frank,
Whereabouts is the company that'll do a stock for $65? I've got a coupla' projects that could benefit for that price.
Cheers,
R*2

I grabbed a 38-55 and a couple of others this weekend that are in the 70 to 80% category- haven't shot them yet but they are $450 to $800 here on the coast through a gunshop. I listed some others in the classifieds.
