Used gun racks at the local gun shop can often provide good candidates for a custom hunter. This Sako 308 was priced a good bit less than a Ruger American. It had some pitting around the muzzle which brought the price way down, but it was going to get cut to 20 inches anyway so it didn't matter. It turned out to be a very nice little 308 and is very easy to use in a deer stand.
