As far as Blue Book values are concerned, I think once you start getting into graded guns and options the strength of the action really doesn't matter. It's all about the engraving, the finish quality, these guns probably wouldn't be shot much anyway by most buyers, it's about collectabilty.

I saw a VG Flues Grade 5 SBT go at auction this weekend for $2700. Nice wood, great engraving...
