Mine was a 308 FW also with poor finish.. Paid 325 for it. The guy saw the look on my face and said yes I know what it is but I make my money selling not sitting on this stuff.
Turns out the rifle was actually really nice, not cut down with the alum butt plate and floor plate. It was a real easy refinish. And a good shooter.
Since I have scored many ultra rare 30/06 s a few in FW... Nothing common you know..
