Thanks for your comments guys. I did some other investigating as well, and finally decided to back away from the deal ... didn't matter anyway, as the rifle sold in the meantime. As mentioned, it had already been "sportered", and really didn't look all that bad. If it shot as well as the seller indicated, it would have made a good truck gun. It's not that I needed another, but it seemed like such a bargain, I just didn't want to passit up.
