Lonewolf - that's a pretty rifle for sure but the price tag is a little steep. I wish you well. But honestly, I just paid $170 for a like new perc. 54 Renegade and I can pic up a 50 cal one for $195. I think you will be hard pressed to get $250 for you rifle. But good luck to you. Maybe they are selling higher where you live. Let us know how your new project comes out.
