A nice .303 sporting martini just sold today for $2400 plus commission. Condition was particularly nice, especially the wood. Price was about $800 over where I thought it would end. I've wanted a 303 or 450 sporting martini for a while now. Missed a couple at Holts. I guess I need to calibrate my spending expectations.
