Value of 1903M/S?

[Ron Vella]

A friend is looking for a rough value on a Model 1903 Mannlicher Schoenaur, calibre 6.5 x 54. It has full-length stock, 18 5/8" barrel, butterknife bolt handle, double-set trigger, steel grip cap, steel butt plate with hinged trap to hold three cartridges. The one photo that I've seen shows a rifle in good to very good condition. Rifle was made by Steyr and is so marked. Serial number is 11476. Offer also includes 7 boxes of Dominion ammunition with 160 grain soft-point bullets.

If you follow them you'll see a fairly large spread. I have seen them for $1100 but don't expect much at that price. $2500 is not unheard of and I suspect a fella will have to spend around $1800 for a decent to good one.
