Used A-Bolt medallion, with matching rings, magnum ported, .375H&H

Don't know much about the history but it looks like it's in good shape. Obviously been used for hunting as there are some scratches in the clear coat finish.

NRA Rating I would say "Fine" maybe "Excellent" but that may be pushing it.

Any ideas? Ballparks would be fine.

Thanks

Thank you very much!! So basically, it's over priced at $700.

Then again... those are probably US prices and based on the US market so $700 might be ok. The question is, can I justify spending $700 on a rifle + whatever I spend on a scope for a Grizz hunt when there is a .375H&H I can borrow from a friend?
 
The Blue Book is indeed based on the US market. Is it a Model I or II? Regardless, $700 is definitely too much, unless it was in perfect condition which you said it isn't.

That statement makes too much sense. Nobody will heed the advice! To the OP, do you have a 30-06?

No, I think that is great advice. The only problem is that I just found out I can get a brand new Win 70 Featherweight for $500 :D

Nope, don't have a 30-06
