    Price of sniper rifles

    What would be the value of a matching LB T, full kit in excellent condition?

    Same for a Aussie HT?

    Thanks in advance.

    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Where and which model?

    It's a purely subjective and location sensitive question.

    For example at auction a matching Long Branch sniper sold for $5500 in Canadaicon on June 1st.

    I've seen them advertised from $2,500 to $10,000 within the last 2 years....

    But, the advertised price isn't always the actual sales price....

    For example, I know of one purchased for "substantially less" than the $3200 advertised price not that long ago...

    Thanks, just looking for a average price here in Canada, nothing rare and haven't bought a T in three years so trying to get up to date.

    Don't have a LB and just curious of what value might be today.

    In regard to the AU, have never seen one for sale and again nothing super rare just curious on current going price.
