Unlike what some think the prices aren't going to rise on rifles like this. The reason is that sadly each year there are fewer and fewer people around interested in something like this. Two major problems are it is put together around overly complex action inferior to original Mauser 1898 type and there is no provision for scope mounting. Last year I bought late 60s Winchester model 70 for less than I would have paid 20 years ago. While Winchester action is inferior to original Mauser action it is better than what I'm seeing here.
