This rifle is in a Canadian on-line gun auction (https://www.icollector.com/Johann-Peterlongo-Innisbruck-Austria-Mauser-98-bolt-action-carbine-20-inch-octagon-to-round-barre_i40622079).

Anyone have a guess at its value? Johann Peterlongo of Innsbruck is a very well known maker. But I suppose the auction will decide the real value. Right now its up to $1050.(Canadian)...plus the 15% bidders premium, 4%-15% taxes (depending on which province you live in), shipping, etc...which will easily add about another third to the hammer price...so its actually up to approx. $1400.(Can), which is approx. $1100.(US)...on-line bidding still has two weeks to go, so it could go a lot higher.

I really do wonder about the .280 Rem calibre...I assume its a rechambering job. It couldn't be original, since that caliber wasn't introduced until 1957 and the rifle is obviously much older than that. And like with most rechambering jobs, you have to wonder who did it, and how well it was done...none of which you can learn from indifferent auction photos. That chambering may hold the price down to a reasonable level though.
