I think the market over values them for whatever reason; that's good news for you. If you have sentimental attachment to the rifle, then keep it. Otherwise ... NRA Patriot Benefactor & DSC Lifer

I should have seen the sentimental value in that rifle as I am kicking myself for getting rid of it. Mine was a 223 but I think a 30-30 in that rifle would be great.
