Buck,

As a member’s friendly courtesy, I think it would be nice for you to at least post the link here for other members to view it and possibly share they’re opinion! 

Just Saying!

It is a handsome Model 1886 Semi-Deluxe Sporting Rifle, and with several very nice special order features.  Definitely a rifle worthy of being added to a collection.

For educational purposes only because it is well above my pay grade, what do you think of the price?

What is different between semi-deluxe and deluxe?

The grade of the Walnut and the checkering pattern.  Semi-deluxe (not a term Winchester used) typically have plain (straight) grained walnut stocks with I-pattern checkering.  The Fancy Sporting Rifles will have 2X or 3X walnut stocks with H-pattern checkering.

That is not an unreasonable asking price considering the configuration of the rifle.
