Lol. This is a little bit like getting excited over seeing somebody else shoot a deer. I'm waiting on pictures myself and am a little giddy over someone else getting a bang up deal on a great old rifle/scope combo at a pretty much steal price IMO. That was a great snag.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.

Sorry guys I screwed the pooch today! Lunch break got cut short and there were other guys in the shop so I only had time to put a deposit on it and run out. I did notice a few small dents in the stock but over all I think once I can get it home and buff it up a little it’ll really shine! Hopefully it shoots as well!

No brainer. I don't exactly know how many 243's I own but if I found that one for $750 it would certainly be +1

Keep the 20 and buy the rifle. It's still a great round.

No brainer there pard, buy it, great deal. I’d sell the Leupold off and get a better scope.

Smoking deal. Congratulations. You won’t regret it and will have the rifle long after the money would have been gone.

I never try to talk a man out of trying to save his marriage or by a rifle.
I’m a good friend like that.

The rifle alone would sell for at least that in my area. I'd leave the Leupold on it and keep it as a period-correct display of a great era in hunting rifles.
History repeats itself because it worked. If it didn’t work in the first place, it wouldn’t be history but another lost story of insignificance.

I'm still waiting on pictures....... I’ll try and get some better ones today! Unless they’re interested in that skb I’ll probably just have to put money down on it today. Christmas came bout 2 weeks to early this year it looks like! You should be able to sell the SKB here in the classifieds for more than they want for the 243. Don't let them steel it from you. For the right price it should sell fast and you would still come out ahead.

Factory dual skeet choke with 28” barrels and factory recoil pad.

Well I got her picked up today! Has a few scuff spots from being stored in a gun case but overall I’m really pleased just gotta turn the trigger down a ton and hopefully it doesn’t have too much stock tip pressure. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/r7jYlRF.jpeg)

Great purchase. Figure the scope is worth $250 so you got a nice older BDL for $500. You did very good.
