Griffon: I too have far from great news, but all is not lost. I have found Sedgley prices are somewhat depressed at the moment. The highest prices are ALWAYS obtained for all original specimens in mint condition. This is especially true of the harder to find calibers [.22 Hornet 7x57 Mauser etc.]. I have a mint, special order Sedgley Mannlicher Carbine Model, [with shortened action] in 300 Savage, that has brought remarkable offers. The reason I say that prices are low, is I bought an all original standard grade Sedgley with Griffin and Howe side mount and Unertl 4x Hawk scope, for under $800 in excellent/90% condition. The fact your rifle is a 30/06, a Standard Model and "I" believe it has had the stock refinished, extra swivel and recoil pad added, makes it a $750 to $1000 rifle. Also depending on what the earlier poster said; on the buyer's knowledge of the market, the Sedgley itself and just HOW MUCH HE WANTS IT...the last can always add value, where none is obvious. Hold on to it, the prices will come back. HTH Jerry
