I am on the fence, just need some Model 61 advice to tip me one way or the other. I don’t know if 61s are going up, down, or flat. Person wants to sell me a Model 61, s,l,lr, made 1960. Perfect bore. Grooved receiver, with a nice Lyman Alaskan scope and original sights. Blue is 100%. Butt stock has some light marks. The forearm sides are nice, but the flat bottom has numerous scrapes, obviously someone rested it on a hard surface when shooting. He is firm at $850. Don’t have pictures.

Thanks, I will cogitate on that response and contemplate on the import.

$850.00 for the gun and ‘scope sounds like a fair deal for both.

Sounds like a great deal to me. Grooved M61 rifles in that condition sell for over $1000 usually. You cant go wrong with a 61, they are good property and easy to re-sell. They have a following like M42’s.

Thanks. If I sold it after getting bored with it would it be better to sell it without the scope? The Alaskan scopes sell for $150. Perhaps a guy who wants a 61 does not place any value on a scope.

There would be 2 schools of thought. One would be keep togeather , it keeps originality and it is chronologically correct.
The other is sell separately, there’s more profit in it for ya.?

The 2 1/2x Alaskan is 7/8″, and does not look bad on the rifle.

I have found that scopes have more value when pulled off the rifle.

Buy it yet? I generally give nothing for scopes, looks like a good price for the rifle a la carte. I don’t know why you’re asking that question here, I doubt I’m the only enabler around here.

Good morning from northern Michigan,
Based on your description and assuming it is 100% original it sounds like a good deal for sure. I would love to add the gun into my survey if I can get the serial number please?
