Hi Stephen,
Country Pursuits has had the rifle for sale for sometime at 175K. I too expected that rifle to do quite well, the caliber, condition, and then of course the provenance not to mention the hammer price being a fraction of the price of a new one and no wait time. Way, way out of my league but I think the buyer did well.
Steve
