I had an original 1903A4 with the M73B1 scope until I sold it to a collector last month for almost $5,000. Because of its collector value I treated it like a safe queen and only shot it twice in the entire 10+ years that I owned it.

$995 sounds like a good price for a replica that you wouldn't worry about taking into the field and enjoying it for what it is, providing the quality is decent. I think that I'd like to handle one and have a close look at it before I'd lay down my money, however.
