A friend of mine just inherited a beautiful rifle from his uncle. Itappears to be a very well made and finely crafted rifle. It has " lakelander model 389, product of mipro" etched on its side. It also has sweden etched to the right of that. it is chambered in 270 winchester and sports a ziess conquest 3.5x10 scope. Does anyone know anything about or the value of this rifle? thanks for any help.
