These aren't record prices for this stuff. A scope, bracket and can went for over $3200 late last year on ebay.
I keep telling guys who balk at the $2000 to $3200 Enfield snipers...they are worth more if you break them up.
The last scope can I saw sell on ebay went for around $600+.

Suddenly those collectors source snipers don't seem quite as bad now, do they? And iif you look, you'll see half of them have gone now as well.
