Flaydermans is a good base reference. However regional differences will
make a huge difference in price.

A lever action 3030, no matter what vintage, will get less money in
California (and most of the West) than one will in the East.

A Remington 600 in 350 Remington wont collect the same amount of money
in the West as it will in the Midwest

A heavy barreled 22-250 wont sell for as much in New Jersey as it will
in Nevada or Aridzona.....and so forth.

Flaydermans is a good guide for "antiques"..but its not the whole story.

that Roosevelt would be remembered as a great president, "maybe even
alongside Washington and Lincoln," opining that Roosevelt "had every
quality that morons esteem in their heroes.""
