My wife's grandfather bought this 721 brand new in 1952. He was an active hunter for approximately thirty years and this was his sole hunting rifle. It's seen use, but not abuse. Approximately 90% of the finish is still there. The stock has dings, but no major cracks or gouges. It shoots just over a one inch group at 100 yards. The bore is in good shape. It has the original Weaver scope that he purchased in 1954/55(?). I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to optics.
Well he wants to sell it now. He's looking at going the consignment route and was wondering waht would be a good asking price. I'm thinking between $350.00 and $400.00. We live in Idaho and there are still many hunters, but I think that to alot of folks this would just be an old rifle. Any ideas?
I'm not looking to buy it because I already own a 30-06 and I don't hunt. I have two hunting rifles (just because) and that's enough. Any suggesstions would be appreciated.
