I normally wouldn't do this, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a fair number. Bluing is damn near perfect and the full length stock is ( if it weren't for 3 minor safe kisses and I think I can steam those out) in perfect condition. I can't find a rub or scratch anywhere. There is also a Leupold Vari-X-II 3-9 scope on it that looks like it it was on another rifle before (some paint loss), but it is still in good working order. The only reference I can find to value it, is Prophet River has one on consignment. They want $2500 (SakoAVMannlicher).

- Start date
this might not help but I have one of those rifles (and original box) in excellent ++ condition (bluing is perfect and wood is too) and would not sell it for less than $2500 unless I was very desperate. I cannot imagine what comes close to the capability of this rifle. It is in the group of ‘last to sell’
They WANT $2500.00 for it. By the looks of of it, it's still for sale so what does that tell you? Like emerson said, list it and see what happens. I personally wouldn't hold my breath and expect to see $2500.00 for it though.
That kinda what I figured. Seemed high to me and its been there a while from what I can tell. Guess I'll have get some nice pics and get her listed. Thanks!

JoBrook's had one a bout 5 years back for $1500. Good shape, no scope or rings.
Damn, you must be old!

Reliable Gun has a Brno ZKK 602 for sale on their site for $3500. That gun isn't worth more than $1200 and its been for sale since the beginning of summer. Your Sako AV .375H&H is worth between $1000 - $1400. I sold one recently in .338WM for $1000 in very good condition with Leupold 1-4x20. That one at Prophet is a consignment so its not their pricing. Just like the price of that Brno at Reliable. In both situations, you would be better off getting a new CZ 550 Safari or a new Sako 85 Brown Bear or Kodiak.

I have a Sako AV Hunter model in very good condition, about 1990 production. I don't think it's fair market value is anywhere near $2500. But that's the market and how much will it bear so if a guy wants it bad enough I'll take his money.

To compare a hunter , used, with a full stock new in box version is not a fair comparison when it comes to price.

I just bought a decent AV 375 on here and I felt the price of $995 was a fair price for a nice old Sako. Plus, I wanted a .375

I passed on a laminate AV at $1100 as I already have a .375. I did buy the twin in .30-06 for $1k. Near perfect.

Sounds like a great deal. I got my AV new a while back for $750 which was 50% off their regular price. I figure it's current fair market value is more than that.
