It has a cut stock with a recoil pad added, after market D&T for scope mounts, after market sling swivels, so for a collector piece I wouldn't buy it. An EG in 300 Savage is probably the most common 99. If you want a good deer rifle, I don't see how you could go wrong for that price, assuming the bore is in good shape. JMHO

My uncle a gun dealer told me.....

There is shuffling cash, and spending cash......

This looks like a piece that you need to want 2 use......

Unless you only expect 5 to 10 percent profit......IMO

That pretty well sums it up. I wouldn't go a nickel over 450 and would feel a lot better at less- if, and only if, I didn't have a good hunting rifle already.

Thanks Gents. I admire your complete and utter honesty.
I had not noticed the recoil pad in the full length picture (was on my phone viewing)
THank you!

I’d pass....

$450 is way more than I'd pay for it. I'd pass and save my gas.
