E.J Churchhill rifle - questions

[jsdboy]

hi - i was wondering if anyone is familiar with/ used/ owned one of these rifles.
i have a line on one made in the mid 50's, gorgeous wood, 98% bluing, original open sights, drilled and tapped reciever for weaver mounts. cal. 30-06
mauser 98 action with the "flap" safety on the bolt. $400
i'm not too familiar with english firemarms. is this a fair price? it reminds me of parker hale rifles, only a better finish.
just curious............very curious.
thanks

Internet search finds Churchhill to be very high-end gunmaker.

I have two no1 mk 3 conversions done by churchill. They are a high quality gunmaker, but it really comes down to the individual rifle. The enfields are nioce, but even with the Churchill name on them, they are still going to be listed at 150 bucks on the EE....not much more than a bubba.

Without seeing pics it is hard to tell if it is a rifle built on a surplus or new Commercial Mauser 98 action.

Is there a thumb cut-out on the left side of the action?

I have a very similiar gun maybee a bit newer. I am very happy with it.Mine is listed as made by churchill gunmakers ltd. Also a 306 mauser 98 what is the number on the barrel? Mine is 73410 this may be the production number? I paid 400 for mine in 1995
