    I think Stevo is right....

    Float it for 7 days at that price and see if there's a taker....

    If not, drop the price to $350 plus shipping and float another 7 days...

    In the above cases, I'm assuming you don't need CASH right now and can wait. I never sell anything because I have to......

    Finally, go to $300 plus shipping and perhaps think about including shipping with a $325 including shipping pitch....

    It's a nice rifle with beautiful wood, but an "also ran" for Swede (built in 1920's), which with the mismatched floorplate, makes it of interest to the "shooter" crowd as opposed to the serious Swedishicon collector crowd. It could make a good "starter" rifle for a young collector starting out, trying to keep his costs down.

    The butt disc also shows both a "2" and a "3" for the last inspections. That seems odd for a bright and beautiful bore as described. Is the rifling good and strong and no other anomalies in the bore?

    What's the serial number and I can check on how many were made that year, if you'd like.

    Hope this helps....

    Regards,
    Badger

    Serial number is: BF 510683

    here are some attempts of a good bore picture, as you can see no corrosion, strong rifleing and nicely bright. But i suppose it isnt mint. I will add that to the EE ad.
