The only good gun I even saw at the Helena gun show was this same gun in 250-3000. I wouldn't mind owning it, except for the $6000.00 price tag on it...

Yep, I figured if I priced it too low someone would want to buy it! It was the most popular rifle on my table. I think even my wife secretly likes it, she gave me a pretty hard time as I was casing it up to put in the truck.
