I have to agree with the others. Around here that combo would be $600.00 to 650.00, minimum.
Great buy.

Please let us know how it shoots. Particularly if it has the cold bore first shot flyer. I just bought a Heavy Barrel one yesterday. My 541-S had the "flyer" have seen several others do this as well. There are some good deals out there, one has to be patient.

At $400, that is an absolute STEAL without any optics or mounts at all. Wish I still had mine.

Congratulations Ed, those are wonderful rifles, my 541T wears a Burris 3-9x32 Compact scope. They are pretty accurate rifles.

You're not the only one who has been wanting one for years. Great snag.

congratulations you did well. I have only had 1 that did not meet my accuracy expectations thru the years. I bet you will be happy with yours.

You really did steal that thing. And it looks to be in nearly mint condition. I have a 541T and a 541S. Love them both but I always seem to take out the T when I go out busting jackrabbits. Both are deadly accurate with just about anything but Eley HP’s knock them down like lighting bolts. Great find. To say you did well would be a serious understatement...

Yep, you "stole" that one right out from under the rest of us. Congratulations!
Now the only way to make it right is to post a range report, shot with a variety of ammo and include lots of pictures....

Now find an extra magazine for it.
Great rifles, with a really junk magazine.

Great rifles, with a really junk magazine. I hear that a lot, yet my 1967 581 ran fine for decades with its only one. It eventually started to balk a bit, so I when I bumped into a new one in my LGS, I bought it, $10 IIRC. I think the old one is probably gummed up with bullet lube from the thousands of rounds it's fed.
What fresh Hell is this?

I bought two magazines from this outfit. Extremely well made. I returned from shooting it a couple hours ago. I mounted one of the Weaver 2.5-7X Rimfires that Natchez has on sale on it. It shot great but I do need to work on the trigger. https://www.trekkermfg.com/
