In California, that is a $800-$1000 rifle at the southern California gun shows. The metal looks pretty good and the laminate stock hasn't been covered in that ugly red varnish. It even has the nicer milled front barrel band. Way nicer than the RCs I've been seeing here lately. Aragorn is right though, if you keep looking you could probably find one for $600 but that may take awhile depending on where you live.
