I was wondering if I could get a ballpark value of above rifle. Serial # is 96xxx. It looks to be the original finish on wood. It is chambered in 30-30 has the delicate schnoble forend, perchbelly stock, classic metal butt plate, and a 26" octagonal barrel. The sights are marble ivory bead on front and rear sight says marble on it also. It looks like an old gun. Bluing is wore in places, but no rust. Gun was my grandfathers and he use to hunt dear with it. My uncle gave it to me so there's noway I'd sell it for sentimental reasons. I was more curious as to whether I should put gun in gun safe or just use it to hunt. I see there is a model 1899 on gunbroker that is in similar shape with a 14xxx serial # that has a "buy now" price of $850, but it has a different barrel, sights, and is chambered for a different cartridge. I appreciate any help.
