Epp's is listing one in 'good' condition with a fair barrel at $275. Another, in VG condition, that has been bubba'd into a re-pro sniper, with a VG barrel and Russian scope at $849. Your's will be somewhere in the middle.
What's that line in the stock just forward of the rear sight? Just curious. Looks like the stock was cut and put back together. If it was, that'll affect the value.

Thank you for your response.
The line is just a reflection, the stock is intact.
I picked up this rifle a few years back when a batch of ~30 was imported and sold within 24 hours (thanks to Claven for the tip). I got a more desirable (or so I was told) version of it (Sako made). There were several Civil Guard specimens with Sk.Y markings but I called too late. I never fired her. The barrel looks pretty good to me.
The stock looks like it`s a Sako post-war rebuild judging by the square finger joints (I`m no expert so I`m not too sure)
I've had a child since then with another one on the way so I guess I will be selling it. I'm not looking to make a profit but don't want to give it away either. So I was wondering about its worth before I put it up for sale.

Usual Finn method of making stocks by splicing two smaller pieces of arctic birch together or salvaging a cracked one by splicing an arctic birch front end on it.
Doesn't detract from value.
Arctic birch two piece designs seem to be more stable to drastic changes of temperature and humidity, too.
PP.
