Remington CDL or Mountain Rifle #18423780 05/14/23 Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 2,157 Likes: 8 northern new york M miguel OP Campfire Regular OP miguel Campfire Regular M Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 2,157 Likes: 8 northern new york I found this .280 on Gunbroker. The seller listed it as a CDL, but I think it’s a Mountain Rifle. He hasn’t responded to my questions. It’s a C prefix serial number, early 90’s I believe. Mountain Rifle or CDL? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/985948512

Some ugly deal breaker for me.

My rule #1 never buy a gun from someone to stupid to even know what it is. The seller never responded to my inquiries, so to me, that’s an easy pass. It went for over $900, closer to $1100 with sales tax and shipping. No big loss.

I couldn't believe it was still there when I contacted him.
