I don't think your in the "real world."
If this were just some sporterized Springfield 03-A3 John would be wrong.
HW Creighton was a benchrest gunsmith. I have a 6mm-250 on a Remington-built 03-A3 with a Sako take-off barrel built by Creighton it is crazy accurate. I'm sure this one is no different.
Now there is a lot of room between the $700 asking price and the $250 this "real world" person threw out, but there can be no doubt that this "real world" offer was based upon ignorance of the rifle.
If I had the cash I'd definately be on this. If it performs anything like my 6mm it'll make someone very, very happy.
