Bob, you know you would be my hero if you bought that std wt 375
..
bsa: I am torn on them. I love the rifles but when I have to pay $5k for one, I am looking to build. I also don't want to bed and reinforce the stock on a "clean" original (you know I like to shoot them); but they need it to keep stocks from splitting. So.....
All this is part of the reason I have never gone hog wild for the pre 64 SG's....I leave them for the collectors.
Of course I could be happy dropping the metal into an Echols Legend....but I don't have to spend $5k on the rifle to get that done.
