Oh I'm thinking he's way more into this rifle than he says he is and was hoping you all would reenforce his belief it was worth 2grand. You guys kicked him in the nuts with good honest facts. As AKwolverine said put up for auction and let the boys on gunbroker settle this.
That is the best way to do it. I also agree that this is not a $1,400.00 rifle. However, some weird as hell things happen over on GB sometimes. If I ran across this rifle locally, I wouldn't have given $700.00 for it.. I've seen nicer rifles for less...
