Gots me a chance to grab a new stick...

Friend informed of a pawn/gunship about 40 miles away with a Belgian commercial Mauser with a stainless Douglas barrel (abut a #2, he reckons) with Leupy mounts and rings in 757 that the guy is asking $350 for. He's sure the guy would probably take $250 or maybe a skosh less.

Wee bit of surface rust spots on receiver (nothing a little emery wouldn't fix), bore like brand new and it needs a cleaning. With the recent heat spell and lack of components, I haven't been burning a lot of ammo recently so my first thought was to pass...

HOWEVER, said buddy has dies, brass and a [bleep] of 175 grainers and a B&C Medalist he'd make me a great deal on.

Do I take the plunge? Haven't owned a 757 yet and it's always spoken to me and I don't see how I could really go wrong....


It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

Stupidity has no average...
