It shoots fine. Previous owner had shot it very little and his son sold it after he passed. Been in my care since about 2012 +/- I am..........disturbed.

Just not quite sure of the details yet. "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots."

Did they just pick an outrageous number? You can have a real nice custom rifle built for a third of that. IMHO JOC provenance doesn't add $10K of value.
