It sounds like a good deal to me. When you go back in, make an offer and take a pic. Post it and the collective we should be able to tell you what kind of stock it is. Might even be able to tell you it's a Douglas #2 at 22".

Trust me, only a loony would build on a pre-64 M70 with a stainless barrel, chamber it in .280 and slap a 2.5x8 on it. I think it was purpose built and well thought out.


I agree with this, and there's no flies on a .280. If it was something I was real interested in, I might start with an offer of maybe around $500 to $550 and see where it goes from there. I like to haggle out deals back and forth, so it can get interesting finding his bottom dollar and your top dollar. You may end up getting a nice rifle at a price you are very comfortable with. You may even end being accused of thievery whistle
Good luck in your negotiations,
