Because its a daniel fraiser best quality action. If the gun was unmolested it would be 10k+.....something special about scottish falling blocks. Frasier trained at Alex Henry's
and learned a thing or two along the way. It would be shame, but I would use mr. Biesens hard work as a pattern for a stalking rifle and rebarrel that gun to something like .360 #2 or .375 flanged. Thats only because I already have a .303, a .256 and .300 flanged. This would make a great project, especially if that engraving is still sharp.
