Depends on the condition and model.
Especially when it was made and bore condition being a 303.

I haven`t seen one up for sale, execpt the one I snapped last year. A nice take-down in original case.All original comfirmed by Paul Roberts.
Mine is made in 1907. It has minty bore.Tight and strong action, that has seen minimum of use. If I were to sell it in a quick sale, I wouldn`t go under $10500..
As a pointingpen a good .303 does go for +7500s. There might be something of the condition that pulls the value down, but they are up there..

Paul Roberts once told me: Rigby sold less than fifty of the Mauser short intermediate slant mag .303s. A few actions apparently went to other gunmakers like Fraser. The total supply is certainly less than 100 examples. Even with a high survival rate, it is very difficult to find one at any price!
