Ross 1910 model R sporter value

I know, this isn't milsurp, but I would bet there are more folks here familiar with these rifles than in the hunting gun section. I looked at a 1910 Ross model R sporter today in .303. This is a factory sporter, not a cut down (serial number on barrel, barrel mounted open sight, marked .303 Ross). I would describe the outer metal about 60-70% finish, the bore has a good layer of fine rust, possibly a fair bit of wear. There is a plain plate screwed onto the reciever where the battle sight normally would mount. The wood is about 70%, no visible cracks a few dings here and there, very dark. The bolt appears stuck in the action, open (the locking lugs are currently vertical, not horizontal). What would a fair price be for a beasty like this? Sorry, there is no way I can get pictures of this unless I buy it. I have a feeling the price is a little high, but I would like other opinions. Thanks.

You have accurately described a 10R sporter. I would probably pay $250 for one like this, if I was optimistic it would clean up.
Had a customer bring me a Ross with a bolt jammed as you describe. It was a bit of a pig to correct. You have to strip the rifle down, remove the rear bridge and jiggle and wiggle to get the bolt out. On the one I did, the bridge screws had to be drilled out.
