  A little more info! This rifle has a Shilen barrel and a Macmillen Stock( not sure about my spelling sorry) Everything seems to be in excellent condition, the stock is definatly premier grade. I can pick it up for $555.00 what do u think guys?

  Your rifle was made before 1972. A shilen barrel runs around 300-500 dollars, this depends on if it is a standard or slect match or just plain match grade. A pre 1972 Garcia, in a varmint rifle in real good condition could fletch as high as $600-800. So basicly what you have is a "custom" rifle, the price is very good, just check the barrel inside real well and I think you will have a good buy.Coyote-man
