Oh, NO PIC???? Shame shame shame on you!

UMM....not so fast. I'll give you $600 for it now. You had to have heard of off-lot-depreciation?

Nice setup for sure!!!! Congrats!

That must be why my scope hit me between the eyes.....twice in a 14 year span. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Because I'm a caring human being and I really want you to be happy with what you have, I'll trade you a nice .30-30 with open sites. Much better rifle for you and I'll give you a deal - straight across trade. Most other people I'd have them throw in an extra $300 or maybe a pistol. Just remember, you're trading that for your own good.

Oh, ok. You did great! Congratulations on a fine rifle!

Post by: trophyhunt on February 22, 2011, 02:02:44 PM: Nice gun, but I would have topped it with a leapold scope. But that's just me, what you have will work.
