Rifle Value....Browning BAR

MOONED

I have an opportunity to purchase a Belgium made (1971) BAR in .300 Win Mag. It is a Grade II model in 98 - 99% condition with a period Weaver scope (3x9x40 I think). Included is a period Browning rifle lockable case, literature for the rifle and two partial boxes of ammo. I have been looking to find a rifle that I can use (down the road) for a northern Canada bear hunt and western hunts for longer distance shots. I thinkn the .300 Win Mag will be the right caliber, and I am confident that the rifle will be the right rifle.
In the event I made the purchase, better optics would be a "given".

My question is not related to the caliber and it;s ability to hunt out west or bear. The question I have is will $1000 be a decent price for the rifle listed above.

EDIT #1
Unless I overlooked them, there are no Browning hard cases for sale with similar sifles. To me, that item and the paperwork is "key" with the sale of this item.

Thanks,

Aaron

the price isn't out of line but for a rifle that old I'd replace the action spring and the buffer (as well as a good cleaning).

Sorry, MOONED. I had a bunch of the Browning hardcases, and they were nice, but they are all gone now. I still have some Browning BAR Grade III rifles for sale, in .270, .300 Win. Mag, and .338 Win. Mag.
