That's a sweet looking rifle you got there. Planning any trips to Georgia any time soon? I'd ditch that Bushnell scope though, it's devaluing your rifle really bad.

lol border police might have a say in that one lol what would someone ask for a price on this i wa thinking like 825 but i dont know its in good shpe and its a good rifle

I really couldn't say. My blue book is from '96 and it says in 100% condition $435 with a slight premium for the Win marked recoil pad but, I wouldn't go on that. Maybe someone has a little newer book and can give a better estimate. If I had to guess, being they only made that model in that caliber for 5 years and it has the Winchester marked pad, and it appears to be in excellent condition, I really hate to say but, I wouldn't let it go for less that $850 if it were mine. Of course I wouldn't let it go at all if it were mine. It may be worth more than that, or possibly less, it's really hard to say.

I found one that sold in Ohio for $750 and was new in box so $850 may be a little high, starting to think more in the $650-$700 range and that is if those sights can be safely removed without damage to the finish.

Good threat, made me happy to read it. Bought a 25 Roberts Featherweight new in 1981. 50-gr 4350 pushes 100-gr bullets pretty good, and case life is good too (I anneal and trim after 5 loadings). Fairly accurate for a light rifle, shoots better than I do out to 300+. Shot well over 100 deer (mulies and w.t.) and antelope, and even a few bull elk I bumped into while mulie hunting. Light to carry while hiking over the Montana hills. Light recoil too--my daughter's first rifle and also several other new hunters. Mine also has the Winchester red butt pad, so maybe they weren't so rare in '81. No open sights though.
