[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2168089, member: 115299"] I will not swear to it, but I think what you have there from what I can see in the pics is a late model AWR, not to be confused with the custom shop version from the 90s. I owned two of them. They were complete custom rifles built in the custom shop that sold for around $2500-3500. Complete with glass bedded Mcmillian stocks, Douglas match grade barrels, and Teflon coated actions and barrels with the 40x match trigger, best I remember. They were real shooters. The example you have is a production gun by the same name built in the last 5 or 10 years. It is little more than a CDL in a Bell and Carlson stock with an aluminum bedding block and a hinged floor plate. Probably not a bad rifle but not worth near what the original AWRs were worth. $1000-$1500 new if memory serves me correct. I remember seeing one in a local Cabela’s and being disappointed because it was not the same quality as the original. I also felt like because they used the same name as the custom shop gun pictured in the 1997 catalogue it devalued those guns which really were works of art and tough as nails for everything from Alaska to Africa. If I think it is what I think it is a new model AWR produced some where between 2008-2020 it is worth about $800 or $900 in my opinion. If you can get it for that it would probably be a good deal and should be a good shooter. Remington had problems with their coatings on there late model guns but if you can get it for a decent price that is nothing a good cerakote job can’t fix and you would have a go anywhere rifle. Good luck! Hope that helps with your decision. [/QUOTE]
