Rifle have ejectors or extractors? Ejector rifle good price, non-ejector rifle not so good. "An individual with experience is never at the mercies of an individual with an argument" | |||

That is a 140-2.1, and it is a good price even with extractors! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Agree with Mac. That's a good price with extractors. Excellent price with ejectors. A couple of years ago, this rifle, with the full coverage engraving, was selling at Cabelas for between $11,999 with extractors and $13,999 with ejectors. This is the model I just traded. The model with limited scroll engraving was selling for $10,999 IIRC. | |||

Very solid guns. @ $7500 you I don't think you can go wrong. This will be a rifle that ;you can hunt with. If you put a scratch on it, its not a tragedy. It will not cost you a fortune to insure and if some goon steals it it isn't like you have lost a one of a kind H&H that can't be replaced. my 2 cents worth If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem. | |||

Thanks Mac, somehow missed the 2.1 part of the model number, as you said and I agree, it is a good price even if it is an extractor rifle. "An individual with experience is never at the mercies of an individual with an argument" | |||
