Just returned from the gun show with a Model 81 in .300 Savage, the gun has some issues for sure but no deal breakers. We were on our way out and noticed this M81. there was no price on the tag so we offered 300 dollars. Three hundred fifty out the door plus BG check.
Most guns I've seen in this condition,which overall isn't that bad at all, go for 5 or 6 hundred dollars.
Already have a Model 8 in .35 Remington.
