So on GB there are two with bid prices at $1200+ and $1800+ So I bought a decent one yesterday. It has a leupold VX2 3-9x40 Price was $850. How did I do? My plan is to shoot it and see how it does and add a quality synthetic (Brown, Basner,?) and use the heck out of it.

I think you did very well. BSA could probably find one for a few bucks less ( ); but anymore that’s a pretty decent score especially with scope. I have watched the GB examples you mentioned and was surprised myself.

There was also one on gunbroker the description was completely wrong he actually had an early six digit if I remember correctly which would be more desirable by far than what he said it was.

When you say how many digits a rifle is it never included the G.

Sounds great. Im assuming Tupperware stock? The leupold is probably worth $275, if its in good condition. Good score on that 5 digit.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

5 digit is definitely worth more to me, i don’t know about anyone else. All mine are under 175,000. I think you do better when you start to stack the rarity. Like 5 digit, stainless, short action, caliber that starts to add up.
I think you got a good deal.

Now I have to pull my 338 win mag out of the safe to look at the serial number. It was a replacement from Winchester in early 90’s.

Yes Tupperware but good condition. I just don't care for those stocks reddog, those stocks are not bad. Glass bed it properly and they are very serviceable. I'll generally paint them up and throw a red pachmayr decelerator on them. Makes them much nicer. Ergo's are good for me, but they are still heavy. An upgrade is definitely a Mcmillan or similar stock, but those are spendy..

I think you got a good deal. Yes, the 5 digits command more of a premium. Those that know realize this, but you'd be surprised how many people don't know this..
