At that price you will need more information, what is the barrel, what was the purchase price? These are well under two grand new in basic spec.
I'm sure it's worth it but you'll need to provide more information I think.

Basic spec price is £1600. So for that money id imagine custom barrel and trigger along with all the other bits pictured.

As would I. A round count would also help the sale I think.
It easy to push £1600 up, that stock is about as expensive as it gets and there's a few hundred quid screwed onto the end of what I can only assume is quite an expensive barrel.

Sadly
A rifle is worth precisely what people are prepared to pay for it.

So true and right now it seems to be a buyers market.

Sellers need also to structure their expectations!
"Bought gun X, turned out not my thing. Cost £2K, bargain at 1800"
That's not even less the VAT! Secondhand gun prices were relatively easy a couple of decades ago. 60% or do of new price. But, things have changed an awful lot. A lot more guns are bespoke, built to the original purchasers specification. On top of which, SOWRs have more an investment that a piece of sporting equipment. And others, well, they're hoping to take the pi$$! And generally do out of new guys to the sport full of eagerness to fill every slot... Look at some still doing the rounds here and are also featured on every other forum!
I'm hijacking the thread hear, sorry.
The rifle for sale hear looks like a very, very nice piece of kit indeed.
Need more details and perhaps some better pics for £2.5K.

Is this the same rifle that ended up in a gunshop in Rugby?
