I think that is a lot Marion but I guess it depends on condition, any mods, etc etc. Up here in Canada they are pretty common and I have heard them go as low as $25.00. Of course the $25.00 ones have been sitting around in the barn and people just want to get rid of them. Years ago I paid $225.00 but mine was sporterized (5 round internal mag, Weaver K4 Scope, and a sling). Maybe the seller may go down a little on the price.

Happy Easter All!

Does it have the volley sights ? ( dail and pointer on the forestock , flip up peep on a post alongside receiver , left side )
It also has a standard sling swivel in front of the mag for a target swivel ?
Look for the same serial number on the receiver , bolthandle , under the rearsight , nosecap bayo boss and sometimes on the forestock , near the muzzle.
There also should be some stamps on the receiver ring . You should see either a Mklll or Mklll* , for example

More photo's !

From the photos it looks like it has the volley sights & maybe the mag cut-off.
