[QUOTE="ATH, post: 2986359, member: 1656"] I did one online estate auction, have watched a couple more. Generally if they go to an auction house they seem to be large collections dominated by military collectibles, not sportsmen. The ones I have been to had very few R700/Savage rifles. I did pick up a couple 1903 variants and a Garand. Early in the auction they go for every penny they are worth. What I found is that when there are 12 1903s and 8 Garands in the estate, you're best waiting until the high rollers have gotten their gun and waiting until the last couple of each kind. I ended up with a pieced together but fully functional Garand I didn't intend to buy because I put in a bid thinking I'd never get it for that, and then nobody else bid. It was the last one in the sale. [/QUOTE]
