I would agree that the price is a bit too high. That said, the full-stocked Mannlicher types are nitche guns sought after by many. Problem is that even though it's in good shape and a good caliber, it's used. My guess is more around the $750.00 neighborhood.

Ruger #1 is a single shot and for those that like them it would bring a good price. I'm even thinking about one myself. How was the recoil and the accuracy of the 270 in that little gem? I've been looking at these recently and the prices are running $850 and up depending on the wood and whether they have a scope.

I think Sniper is pretty close to the mark, I've owned seven #1's, still have my 1B in .204, deadly accurate--gun shop in my area has another like it for $850, they also have a choice 1B in 06 for just under $900---each of these has beautiful wood [pretty common on the #1's]---new on Bud's they average a little over $800, the offset rings cost $40 to $60 depending on the source and a decent scope is worth at least a hundred, plus, it's a common and desireable caliber---I wouldn't accept less than $950 for it. If it was mine, I'd keep it-----
