I look at this rifle @ $9500 and see a `98 with a flash stock in a big bore,the extra`s are basically a few bucks worth so IMO I cant see any justifiable reason for the price,anyone help out?

One most similar at a gun show here last Spring .505 Gibbs - priced at $9,000 US - I looked it over and for a modern rifle, it looked quite well and nicely made except the inletting left wood boss around inlets - worth perhaps a couple thousand to $2,500 at most imho, of course, considering all the paraphenalia.

You can get just as nicely and well made a rifle, for $9,000 but it has 2 barrels.

If you were going to spend almsot 10 grand, you could get a real rifle.
