What is it worth?
16/04/08 09:48 AM

I give up trying to figure out what a given DR is actually worth in the current market. I have a nice conversation with someone at BassPro who admits that they are no doubt buried in a rifle I am interested in, suggests that I wait for it to sit around for a while, and then calls to say that another store just called him to say send the rifle, they had a buyer at the silly price they listed on the Net. So go figure.

This was just posted at the Cabela's site, with the usual excellent photos and a decent description from one of the stores where they know a fair amount about DRs:

The wood looks very, very nice and the rifle appears to be as described, but 50K for a boxlock in a 400 Express? Am I missing something here? And no, I am not in the market for this rifle, just musing on the market and prices.

Your thoughts all? Dave
