:lool:

i can get that for less than $150 here.



what a tool.

He says he put $800 worth of work into the rifle. Is that what he expects someone to pay for it? I wouldn't pay that much unless the scope is worth that. I am guessing though it is a run of the mill wally world quality scope.

[El Laton Caliente]

I've seen them here for $150 to $200 or so. Some pawn shops will price WAY high though... The scope in this case could be worth more than the rifle...

That said I was considering a Bubba'd C&R rifle as a hunting rifle... found a 1903, but it was a little pricey also (but not THIS out of line!).

If he put $800 into it, he got taken to the cleaners! This also illustraits why Sporterizng classic military rifles is a losing proposition and not worth doing.

worth it in the 50's/60's BUT today....

:lool:

by the time you buy a new barrel/tools or pay someone to do it, you could have had that new savage or CZ sitting on the shelf for a few bucks less...



Instead of going bubba, sell me your old guns cause you need booze money without your wife finding out. :D
You like booze more than guns so do it.

( my mind trick, don't steal it or use it without my permission) :lool:

yes, one of the great parts of CNC machining is that even the sub $300 rifles today will do MOA or better straight off the shelf. For $500 you can have a rifle, rings, bases, and decent glass.
