I've been attracted to that rifle myself in the past. It's been for sale for at least 2-3 years, possibly longer. I like the dark wood and the quality of the restoration. However, it's priced close to what a pristine unrestored original would fetch, if there were any pristine originals around. I'd suggest you call Bell and Corbett and get the full story - who did the work, condition of the bore, etc. If you have the serial number you can check to see if it's in the Griffin and Howe research database. If it is a report might (or might not) provide some interesting information.

On the question of well restored rifles v originals with character, I've gone around and round and finally concluded that I like both about equally well.

By the way, original pre-war Mauser sporting rifles, especially the Type A, seem to be holding their value very well. Just about everything else, including G&H, Hoffman, etc. has reverted to 2004 prices or below. The lines and feel of the mausers just can't be beat in my opinion.

As someone else said, if you like what you like, you have to be prepared to overpay for it.
