Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Simpson LTD.

I've been to Simpson, LTD, a couple dozen times. The store is rifle loonie heaven, but they tend to grade a little high, so be prepared to be a little disappointed if you order on-line.

BOTTOM LINE: I would recommend them if you are there in person, so that you can inspect the firearm before making the purchase. I would recommend caution if you're making a purchase decision based on the pictures/description/grading on their site. There is a salesman at Simpson LTD, Floyd, who has been very helpful when ordering on-line. A strong Caveat Emptor.

EDIT: If you're interested in a LR 98 Mauser action to build on, you can find Husqvarna 640s built on FN Commercial actions, usually in 30-06 and 8x57, with poor stocks or poor bores that can often be bought for under $300.
