I had the exact same rifle back in 1994 I believe. I bought it as soon as they came back out with CRF. The rifle had an issue when I got it. A fired round would have a raised piece of brass around the middle of the case. I was taking it to the NWT for Dall sheep and had my GS clean that spot up in the chamber a little. I guess the tool had a piece of metal or something on it when they were making the chamber and it gouged a chunk of the chamber out. It didn't affect the accuracy of the gun in any way though. It host 162 gr. Hornady handloads under .5 MOA all day long. I killed a nice sheep at a little over 400 yards with it. A friend of mine wanted it more than I wanted to keep it so I sold it to him. One of the few guns I've owned and sold. I regret selling mine.
Good luck with the sale!
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

Good luck with the sale! I regret selling my classic as well and it too liked hornady 162 grain spritzers. I bought another one I few months ago and it is going to Bansner for some work in a week or so. If I didn't have it I would buy this one in a NY minute.

I really need this action for a future build, but the timing is just poor as I wrap up another project right now.
Bump for you.

I don’t need another gun. I don’t, I don’t. That kind of negativity gets you nowhere

I will get a weight in the morning. It is not a featherweight for sure.
