Original versions are in the $700-2500 bracket depending on condition, yours has been modified so it would be worth much less. Recent sold examples of sporterized 98's range from $250-700 depending on quality of the work. Yours's looks to be at the low end of that spectrum, $250 would be a good price for it.
