I think it would have fetched ~ $250.00 USD. Of course it depends upon who the vendor was and what they think they can get for it. I have seen similar pieces on the websites of certain vendors advertised for $600.00 USD. Also, to be honest it has been a good many years since I purchased a peice of english walnut (California or otherwise). So take my comments for whatever they are worth (probably not much).
Personally, I would not have purchased it for a "big bore" as I do not like the grain structure at all, and I am not referring to the flow of the grain through the wrist either. All I am saying is that I would not use it to stock one of my 500's. A lesser caliber would probably work OK, though (fingers crossed).
It an attractive piece of wood. I would definitely like it on my 300 Winnie!
