I was making a joke out of parting the gun out.

Actually, I have been shooting it, and the more I shoot it, the more I like it. I have the same rifle in .270 Winchester and it shoots bug holes with almost everything I try in it. The .308 is a little more picky, but not much. I am going on a mule deer hunt in Hudspeth county this December, the .270 is going for sure, and the .308 is vying with a couple of others for backup.

However, if someone wants it for my original price, $700 + shipping, I will sell it.

Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.
