I inherited this gun from my uncle. Heard it might be rare? Any ideas on how to auction it to get the best price?

Hello Helen,

Yes, it is relatively rare (due to the specific cartridge it is chambered for). The first thing you need to do is take a series of clear detailed pictures of the rifle, to include the factory markings and serial number. Then, list it for sale on Gunbroker.com
