I'd say it worth closer to $2,000.00. I just sold my Mark V Deluxe in .300 wby mag. I sold it for more than what I paid for it. I replaced it witha Mark V Accumark in .300 wby mag. I like the synthetic forhunting as I don't have to worry about babing the stock anymore. My first one was very accurate and this new one looks to be just as good if not slightly better. If you or your buddy don't reloadthe .300 wby mag is tough to beat. I keep my brass and sell it as I don't reload.
