I paid $1,800 for mine, brand new from the factory.
The model type you described goes for $2,500.
I would not have taken the deal either.
A buddy of mine and I did the glass bed. I bought a mil-surp tiger birch stock from Fred’s and spent hours and hours striping, sanding, and then hand rubbing tung oil into it. I brought all that gorgeous grain up by hand.
It took months to locate the correct “original” scope for it and the mount is a titanium from Fulton. It’s wicked accurate out to 600 yards which is the longest range I’ve got access to. I’d love to see if I could hit anything at a thousand sometime.
I’ve got some handloaded Sierra Match Kings I’m saving for that day.
Best,
L
