30-30 bolt action?

Is it the 788 in 30-30 that's desireable; or just the 788 model in general?

Personally, I'd say it's the 788 in general, but then again I'm partial to them.

I've had a 788 in .30-30 before. Nice, handy, accurate rifle. Only drawback is you still have to use the flat or round nose bullets in them. Every spitzer type bullet I tried to reload was too long for the 788's detachable magazine.

wow he was way off... I just talked to the owner and he took a look at it again... it doesnt say 30-30 ..... it says .303 . hes old and not too sure but thinks its a lee enfield , I will see it tomorrow and let you all know. Any idea on price range if it is? I know there are tons of different models so its hard to pin down, I will let you know which one it is tomorrow night. But a basic price range would be nice.
 
303 s start at 125 and go up from there depending on model and how much its been sportered

Two years ago a gunsmith and I had a cut down Lee Enfield on our table at the gun show. He had gone over it, replaced some internal parts and even the stock.
We had $120 on it. As time went on, we lowered the price, until, before closing time the second day, I put $70 on the tag and it sold.
Last year a friend gave me a similar rifle to sell at the gun show. I had the same gunsmith go over it, make sure all was well, we cleaned it up and put it on his table at the show, with a $75 tag on it.
It never sold, throughout the entire show!
What was complicating things was the friend who gave it to me to sell, thought it was worth a couple hundred dollars. That was why I had it on the gunsmith's table, to prove to my friend what it was really worth.
It's the same old story. So easy to say what something, in this case a certain rifle, is worth, but what it is worth is what someone will pay for it, after it is well advertised on the market.
