If you are saving a rifle for the potential of monetary return, sell it now and take your best price. Then put the money in savings (even at 1-2%) and make some real money. Firearms are a poor investment for making money, even collectible ones in fairly scarce supply. I can tell you that from my perspective with over 50 years of buying and selling, I would have been better off to have put the $14 I paid for my first Enfield in the bank and drawn simple interest over the decades. No money in guns. Maybe in accessories, but firearms are a losing proposition.

Bog water.
