A quick update, since guys are sometimes leery of low post count sellers.
Fisch was great on communication the whole time, decided that the rifle would be safer if packed and shipped by his local gunshop, and in general was very easy to deal with through the whole transaction.
I picked up the rifle today. It was definitely packed well, and as described.
Though Fisch may only have 18 posts here, I'd vouch for him, based on this transaction.
