Considering buying this from gunbroker. Bluing almost seems too good to be true from 1961.

Me? $250. $300 if I was in a good mood.How high would you go?
Don't be so condescending, and assuming.The late Jack O'connor said anyone who couldn't go in woods with
30/30 and come out with deer, had no bussiness in woods. It's a hunting rifle
not a sniper rifle.
Judging by the nicks in the stock, the rear sight without blueing, and the buttplate shiny on the edge, I'd say that the receiver has been re-blued, and possibly the barrel. It wasn't heavily polished prior to bluing, however. The screws may also have been replaced.
The stock also appears to have been refinished, but the work on both metal and wood is very good.
