It has a Blurriss LRS scope on it, I think it is a glorified Full Field with a lit dot. Manager told me it had a bump or two on the stock. Will decide on it or another one he has .

I’ve just lost interest in the rifle. Nice wood, good shape (no perch belly and no black forend tip.) I’d probably include a set of RCBS dies. Mathew 22: 37-39

Sounds like you are getting desperate for a 30-06. Nothing else available? Pre 64 model 70, Tikka, etc. etc.. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

No more TIkkas(last one) and no pre-64's. It was an item of interest , if it is beat up then I buy something else or leave the store.

WTH is a Burris LRS scope? This maybe? https://www.opticsplanet.com/burris-lrs-lighted-reticle-3-9x40-fullfiled-ii-scope.html Looks like it. I did some looking myself and I guess some guys had some failures with that scope. Or the illumination failed. I’ve never had one. Wondering if anyone here has experience with it? Oldelkhunter is probably right. Only worth about $200 Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

Metal looks brand new. One small dent in the stock. The scope is like brand new as well, It will hit the classifieds in a few. It was a limited run by Burris. 3-9x40 LRS

The scope was a 3.5-10X though. A pretty good deal I believe. Conduct is the best proof of character.
