Twas mine
 
On this Nov 21 this Remington 03A4 Sniper Rifle of mine sold at auction for....$5720.00.....after all is said and done I will get $4700.00 of that amount...Two collectors wanted it and fought it out....it was just about as clean as you could get and they WANTED "THAT" rifle for their collection...and there is NO WAY I could have gotten that much money by advertising it myself...this is one of those that one had better take the offer cause you ain't gona git a sucker like that again anytime soon. The estimate was 3000 to 4000. Not bad for an $1100 investment 12 years ago.

Sweet. It's nice when you win one.

Looks nice. The old sniper rifles are getting pretty valuable and nice to see it.

Original military has been HOT the last few years for sure.

Nice, but why sell now? Don't you think it will be worth even more next year, and the year after, etc?

No scope and is already at $3000... wish we had known something like this and bought a couple of cases of them 25 years ago. Hell, get a couple cases of 1911's as well!

I have been constantly amazed at the prices of original sniper stuff over the past ten plus years, I still have quite a bit of stuff but it never ceases to amaze me at what people are paying these days.

I had a chance to sell a type 99 sniper and the offer I was given would just about get me another decent P-car, the optics and case was worth a ton.

If you have not done so join Gun Runner Auction and watch what happens on there,
