My first time seeing one of these. As much as I like the 7mm I've just never been a fan of the remingtons. (except for the 720)

I've never seen that varient before! Looks like a cross between an '03 and a 1917.

That thing has been through the mill. That refinish didn't hide much.

unless that is some sort of unique, one of a kind collectors rifle, that's a stupid price. I bought a NICE sporterized Winchester 1917 (not even drilled and tapped) in a nice sporter stock for $300 2 years ago. I got a nice barreled 1917 winchester sporterized (including cock on opening) action for $200 around the same time.

Yea, I would think the price has more to do with rarity than condition or action type.

As I recall (without looking it up) those were
made for Central America (Honduras ?).
There were not many made and they are rare.
As I recall they used the Mod 30 action.
It is probably worth a lot more as issued.
Good luck!

Value is definitely based upon rarity, these are quite uncommon. The action is basically a commercial Rem 30 with various other military parts added.

SARCO imported the available examples of these rifles back in the late '60s-early '70s, I've forgotten their price but it was too high even back then. SARCO also offered another rifle put together from parts of 1903s & 1917s at about that same time, that one was a real mish-mash but this one is a genuine milsurp example and would fit in well with any Remington 30 collection.

okay, the type is very interesting.. this EXAMPLE, however, is NOT worth the money ... $250 would be about my interest level
