Seller: Mitchs Gun Shop (FFL Dealer) $795.00

Usually under or very near $1,100.00 new in the box. They are heavy, hard to pull the charging handle back and not too accurate. I had one new and sold it after about 3 months. I much prefer AR-15 type rifles.

Thanks! I'm probably going to let it go and bring it to louisville for the gun show, not my normal thing here but the price was pretty good for this and a G98 the guy had.

They don't have the best reputation for quality.
If you check actual sales, they're normally $300 to $500 depending upon condition. Your's being NIB might bring $600. I'm talking actual sales prices, not dealer asking prices.

It may be just a regional thing but anything here in the South that looks military or like that rifle does..the prices are high. That particular manufacturer may be 2nd rate, I don't know that part.
There are people today who will buy that gun at close to the prices I projected...at least in Tennessee and Louisville is only 100 miles away. They just want a gun that looks "Bad" before, they fear, they might not be able to. The mojo factor plays to your advantage in these times.
Good luck with it.
