    Hee! In a somewhat related note, the shotgun used by Wyatt Earp to blow Curly Bill Brocious nearly in half is going up for auction:

    Might make for an interesting "human psychology" study in what all of these actually end up going for - the semi-high-end bolt actions that are "special" simply by serial number, versus the fairly pedestrian-grade double barrel that is "special" for having participated in an era-defining event.

    Don't hit the buy it now button by mistake.
    They should be in either the NRA Museum or in Cody.
    As for the price? Who knows? Something is worth what someone is willing to pay

    I have a model 70 in 30-06 made in 1939 that I would let go for a good deal less than that price.

    It's interesting to see what some of these famous guns sell for.
    Several years ago, Jack Ruby's brother sold the 5 shot S & W .38 that was used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald.
    Seems like it sold for about $20,000.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    Think you're off by a factor of 10.

    Unless you just have to have bragging rights or are fixated with classic stuff, the current CRF Model 70 is every bit as good or better.
