Based on the pictures you sent, the rifle is in noticeably worn condition, and the extra holes drilled & tapped in the lef side of the receiver frame for a side mount scope ruined the collector interest & value.  Based on what I can see of the rifle, it is a $1,600 gun.

Bert, isn’t that a little much for a Swiss Cheesed rifle? M71’s are a hard sell, and one with holes? Maybe $400. Big Larry

 

  

Thanks so much, gentlemen. Great to avoid a train wreck. 

Best,

If your looking for one to hunt rather than collect I’d still consider it if it could be bought in the range that Bert suggested. If you are a collector spend more and get one that’s not messed with and in nice condition finish wise. If it functions correctly it will still be a great rifle to hunt and a perfect platform for a .450 Alaskan conversion.
