Looks pretty odd to me; REL didn't make enough scopes for Long Branch, they sure wouldn't be sending them elsewhere. The flat of the stock isn't marked with the scope serial.
The transit case looks ok on a quick view. $5k, I donno.....

Hi All,

Took an good look at the auction pictures and there were an few things looking strange to me.

The scopemount has the wrong type of screws, they aren't countersunk.
The scopemount has been "opend", the "blocking" punches aren't in line with the screw slids.

The rifle is an genuine T rifle, I have one in the very nearby range. It came from an collecter in the US (Alaska). Its also missing its scope number on the wrist, but has its number inside the wrist.
The woodwork on the rifle hasn't its original finish though, it looks like its been repainted with some highgloss paint.

To me it looks like an build together from original parts.
