I thought it was a good deal... but i did talk it down to that price as well... If it were me i'd try offering less just to see but thats just how i am.

Post by: yorketransport on December 24, 2009, 03:14:34 PM: I would be happy to get that gun for $275! ER Shaw makes a good barrel, and that stock sure is nice. Let us know how it shoots.

Post by: AWS on December 24, 2009, 04:55:02 PM: In the 70's I had a Herters 2 1/2 x scope with a post in it. It was on a Rem 742 BDL Deluxe 308 Win. My dad used it for many years and after I bought him a new rifle I used it, nice scope never had a problem with it. I've still have a Herters powder measure and a couple of die sets and a bullet swaging dies for a 45 Colt. I don't remember anything that was junk and at the Waseca MN store they had a great selection of beautiful gunstock wood for incredibly low prices even for the day. My X-father in law used to shoot with George L. and his son at the Rochester MN Gun Club

It looks like you have a winner it would cost 10x that to have it built today.

The Mauser action is what all actions since then have been compared to.

Can't go wrong with a Mauser action, strong, smooth and simple. You have to admit that the germans are good at design.

Post by: Jburke on December 25, 2009, 12:41:40 AM: I may be wrong here, but I would guess that the ER Shaw barrel itself is probably worth close to that price? Maybe I'm wrong, but I know they make great barrels. I've been thinking about getting one for my 06.

I agree. It cost me around $350 to have Shaw rebarrel an FN Mauser with a 24" stainless, bead blasted 338-06. That gun shot great, i only sold it because I wasn't that fond of the Mauser action. But if I had a good looking stock like that I probably would have kept the gun.
