Hello all. I've always wanted an 1886 Lebel but have never actually come across one in person. In a week or two I will be in a position where I will be actively looking to buy one. I'm wondering What should I expect to pay for a decent, mechanically sound, shootable example with a good bore? Also where should I start my search for such a thing? I'm not terribly worried about the ammo situation as I'm a farily experienced reloader and will be going that route. I can find brass and dies and will likely just shoot cast bullets to keep down on wear and tear on the rifle, I don't need full power loads nor do I need to shoot it thousands of times.

Thanks in advance for any info.
