Need help with the value of an Al Biesen rifle. Need to sell, need an idea of a fair price to ask for it. Thanks. Link to pics below.Rifle is a 7mm Weatherby. These rifles need to go to someone who appreciates them. Wife will end up giving them away. http://imgur.com/a/2cWx4

Apparently it won't be from a white Hawaiian island splatter on the stock.

It has Al Biesen Gunmaker Spokane WN on the barrel. It's in 99% plus condition. Its not a super fancy example, but very nice. Needs a good home.

Travis You look at it. You can spot one from across a crowded room and you won't be wrong too often.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I think y'all place an inordinately high value on your testicles. We had a bunch of Mt. Oysters at a catered event and they were about $3 a pound. I doubt many even come close to a pound per pair. My apologies and condolence if you have Tsetse fever.
That rifle is a real beauty and you may want to put it on consignment at one of the higher grade shops. The market will determine the price pretty quickly. That is very similar to the Jack O'Connor #1 rifle so even better.

Nice Rifle no doubt.If you are going to auction it you are going to need written provenance proving Al Biesen made it.Other wise it will only bring what any custom rifle will bring in like condition.
Its all right to be white!!

You can tell it's a Biesen by the stock shape and styling almost immediately.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

That stock is definitely a Biesen, the barrel marking is correct - "WN" - for Washington, before the current abbreviation "WA" (Roger still uses the original "WN" stamp as well).
The stock should also be marked in the barrel channel with the maker's name, but not always. The stock shape, especially the grip and checkering style is Biesen's signature style.
