Thanks for the replies guys. I agree that it looks good in the pictures and if it checks out the same I wouldn't have a problem paying 5000 GBP for it. I tend to think it may go higher though and not sure if it's worth chasing especially since I don't need it.

Anyone going to be at the Auction? I'm in Afghanistan right know and won't be able to make it myself. Could do a telephone bid but that will add a few hundred to the price of the rifle in toll charges.
