I've stumbled across a Sequoia and would love some input on it's value. It is in good shape but has been modified. The LOP with a 1" ugly Pachmeyer pad is 13" from the front trigger. I think this indicates close to 2" of the butt has been cut off. Has been D&Ted for a side mount scope base and the wood slightly relieved for the base. The holes were plugged and ground down and the area refinished. Round burnishing marks for the repairs can be seen on the inside of the action. A Leopold base was then added and it holds a Lyman 4X Permacenter scope. The safety will not operate because of the scope. The sights, peep, and all other functions appear to be in good shape.

No collector value left, but could be a good user. The question is, what does it being a Sequoia add to its real world value? The rifle appeals to me, but only as a user. The bore looked OK, but I am not a good judge of bore wear. Other than the mods, I would say the rifle is in very good condition and that would indicate light use or very careful use. If it doesn't shoot well, I would like to be able to get my money back, so I don't want to pay a premium just because it is a Sequoia.
