That piece of wood is worth over $500 just by itself. A military FN action is worth about $200 or so, commercial FN actions maybe $300-$350, and the barrel is always worth $100. The old Leupold is actually an unknown, it will have to go to the factory, if it has the spiderweb reticle they will not service it. If you pay $600-$800 you won't get hurt, neither will your friend. It's a shame, because it would cost over $2000 to replicate that rifle today.
