You are probably correct in that it's going to be 20 to 30k.
Of course, if he really wants it you'd think he'd bid at least 20K to see if he breaks the reserve. I mean, if I was going to spend 19,600 another 400 for that would not be a deal breaker..........
This is a great rifle!
A complete beauty to say the least. I learned something too, I did not realize that the 1876 was strong enough to handle a round like that.
That round was designed FOR and around the 1876. Later it was also chambered in a few Winchester Single Shots.
(I couldn't figure out the green font so use your imagination)
Yeah Kimi, your not alone in the drool department, that is a once in a lifetime rifle, believe me, I know that feeling quite well!
Man, don't you just know it.
Looks like Lucky Duck is interested! Just shy of 20 grand!!

Exactly!
I can't wait to see what else that seller rolls out to tempt us with!!
Who knows if it would have sold with a $ 21,000.00 start and no reserve?
Unless, of course, it is as JnRockwall states.

This one looks like a good candidate for a no reserve with a starting price the seller is comfortable with.

That's my thought too, Don.
It might take a couple weeks, but that gun could easily bring $25,000 or better. It would be pretty difficult to find a '76 in that condition with a scope like that in an express caliber!!
Fishing for a price as JnRockwall has mentioned, very possibly so, but then again the seller might have a established a set price based on his experience, instead of an overly optimistic one, that he will stick close to when all is said and done. This combo is almost 130 years old, highly desirable, and very rare even though it's not factory done.

I hope, for his sake the right people see this thing!!

It's high condition.
There are wealthy people that will pay whatever it takes.
He will get what he wants if he is patient.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
