Shelhamer/Niedner 7x57's mausers are a dime a dozen compared to this rifle. Kurz action, great caliber, terrific engraving, handsome lines, unusual checkering pattern for a Shelhamer, and no serious issues. Sure, you need to fix the bolt and add the Lyman 48, but the clip guide has not been removed, the stock has not been shortened and does not appear to have any cracks or splits. Honest wear on the stock and checkering does not bother me to much on these rifles. I just hope to get a chance to see it if it does get restored correctly.
