The action is tight and the bore is good. The wood is good, with two slight cracks and a coating of old varnish. All markings are clear, and it is an attractive rifle. According to popular lore, Winchester felt threatened by the marketing of the Colt Burgess. Winchester officials traveled to Colt headquarters with several advanced handgun designs and "asked for advice" on how to market them. Colt got the message, and offered to drop the Burgess if Winchester dropped their handgun proposals. True or not, it's and interesting story and the fact remains that the Burgess is a very rare rifle with just over 3800 produced. Values range from $3700 from Flayderman to $5500 from the Blue Book...though several have gone over $10,000 at auction! Please do not bid if you can not pay - the consignor wasn't pleased last time!
