He was a motivated seller when he first posted it and now he's not motivated. Simple as that the way I read it.
Beautiful rifle either way.
Sir you are exactly right. However since he did make this post and contact me today if he wants it at that $1600 price I would do it. After that though I'll probably keep it. My immediate needs have been taken care of and now it's back to life as usual...
Thanks btw for helping out!
