Anyone have an idea what a good serial numbered 1903 (03action w/NEW a3-03 "*" barrel) with the following customizing done would be worth?

Fajen laminated Bro/Bro thumbhole stock w/ recoil pad
Glass bedded action and barrel
New deep polished blued by gunsmith
Timney Sportsman adjustable trigger
Leupold rings/bases
Simmons Whitetail Hunter 6-24x50mm scope w/ flip up lens caps
Nylon sling with detachable swivels

30-06 caliber - only fired appx 200 rounds through this rifle.
Shoots consistant less than 1 inch groups at 100 yards with Speer 130 gr. HP's. My own reloads. I never really worked up any other loads for it. I shot five whitetail bucks and one doe with this rifle over the years and they all dropped in their tracks.[:D]

    Hello,

    Looking to find out information on this rifle. I know its custom but don't know by who. Not even sure of the caliber no markings but looks to be 30cal.

    This was inherited. Not looking to sell it. Just looking to find out information and the value.

    I will post more information if I find anything paperwork on this rifle.

    Here are some pictures.

    Sporterized '03s usually sell in the $200-300 range.

    A couple of years ago I bought four 03/03A3 sporterized for $200-$300 depending on the wood and one of them had a good Weaver scope on it. So the previous estimates would be within the range.
