OK folks.... toying around with the unthinkable.
My much loved M48 has been around the block a couple of times and a good friend is egging me on to build a full custom...that of course takes plenty of moolah but other than that, I only have room in life to use so many rifles. I've got a few between the 7-08 and .300WSM- so I'm thinking I'll step up in bore size to the .338-06 or perhaps another .375. In truth- the 7-08, .308, .270 and the .300WSM are all so similar I can't see replicating that capability again.
My rifle is in decent shape- some honest hunting wear and far from used up. Aside from wanderlust and boredom I could use this one with perfect satisfaction for the rest of my days.
So I'm thinking of putting this one on the market...but how much? I've seen used ones on GB that are in better shape and new ones cost substantially more than I paid for it 8 years ago. Looking to make somebody a fair deal and I don't even know where to start.
I was thinking $2k for the bare rifle and $2300 with the Zeiss Conquest...
too high? too low? Have I lost rational thought?
