You shouldn't really ask, but it WAS a steal, for sure. Especially as it had that spiffy sight on it, too. I'll be getting a micrometer globe/level foresight unit next time I'm over in OR, since they are a lot less costy there, even having come from the same Italy as those we can buy here - odd that, eh? The items I buy over there have the added advantage of being much-travelled, as well.
The version that you have is a great 150-200 yard sillhouette rifle, if only it were possible here in UK to shoot at targets that go clang instead of rip. A cleverer than me pal is making me some 405gr bullets, and once I've figured out the correct size for the sizer I'll be putting some through it, no doubt.
Whinemeal, it does look very pretty, all that lovely woody stuff glowing in the firelight...
uh, hold on, we don't have a fire.....
I'll be back, 'kay?
