I received this .308 from Melvin several months ago and have never taken it out of the house. It has never been fired. I mounted a Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8 but have simply not found the time to sight it in. The scope has a custom elevation turret from Leupold based on the round I would have been using. I'm pretty tall so Melvin made the LOP 14 1/4". It has a 22" #1 contour stainless steel barrel. Weighs 6# 0 oz with scope. Some of the photos show it alongside the other NULA I received at the same time. The .308 is the one with the lighter colored stock. When the dust settled and the crooks in Sacramento received their share I had right at $4200 including the scope in this rifle. I don't imagine using it any time soon so this impulse buy needs to go down the road. Will sell and ship (with all original packaging and gun case, etc) anywhere in the L48 for $3500. If you don't want the scope I'll sell the rifle with the Talley rings for $3100. Price is FIRM so please do not ask me to lower the price.

I'm traveling 12/19/19 through 01/04/20 so if you want this before next year we need to conclude things very quickly. Listed elsewhere so first posted "I'll take it" wins.

That is a dandy, and about my size too. If it was a 6.5 and around 8# we would be talking!

They are--but also so well balanced they're easy to shoot offhand.

Saturday. Always willing to consider trades involving collector-quality Parker shotguns.
