I agree it’s been refinished at some point but I suspect it’s been awhile. It’s a very attractive rifle but…the current collector market won’t justify the current bid, IMHO. OTOH if you bought a 20-30% gun and wanted to bring it up to this level it’s quite possible to spend this much and more. I love the cartridge and I love deluxe wood but I’d only buy this rifle if I had no intention of selling it any time soon. 

I still think we’ve seen this seller before under another name.

Mike – I can’t place him.  He’s been on gunbroker since 2007 and he’s listed as a, “Top 100” seller – so he’s been prominent on the gunbroker site for a long time.  I see his location is listed as Waddy, Kentucky.  I wonder if he also had a storefront business?
