I'd offer at least two Mosin-Nagant rifles for it.

I don't like nickel, generally, but an unfired NIB M27-2 (how long is the barrel?) would be worth $1200-$1500 in my book, as long as it has all the stuff with it (booklet, presentation case and cardboard one, cleaning tools), and preferably had an S prefix. I gave a grand for a pristine M28-2/6" with no box and only the Magna grips and an early N prefix.
