Thanks for all the input guys, updating this for future reference for you.....as I said in my original post a few local guys had asked to buy this off me already, one I had promised first refusal to the other was very keen to get it off me and offered me 1200, obviously going by the valuations here I now know that was a very strong offer, today the first refusal matched that offer and has paid me via a transfer without even seeing the rifle in the flesh yet
