Beyond nice. I read all the chatter from people here pining for a Hornet and thought someone who appreciated condition would be all over this one..Exceptional guns don't come cheap...

Have a feeling that one of the advanced collectors here on the Forum will pull the trigger....

I know it's probably just me, but it looks like the barrel has been freefloated. If so, it doesn't meet the "all original" ....."98%+ condition" remarks in the add... I might just be seeing things. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

He won't budge a penny on his price. IMHO $3850 is a little steep even though it's in great condition but missing the rear sight which he doesn't have.

Would you by chance have any contact info you would share? I have a Hornet carbine and a 300 Savage but would like a carbine in the 300 Savage.

I see that the Hornet is still for sale. Like I said he won't budge a penny. He might hold onto it for a while.

He definitely won't change his mind. He still has two I looked at 2 years ago and wanted. One being the SG pre war he still has listed, but zero wiggle room on price on either. Oh well...

I made him an offer on this a while ago that was rejected and said if you change your mint me know. We have come to terms and funds go out tomorrow. We will see if it's a nice as described. It should be here just in time for prairie dogs in Wyoming.
