If I could trade Cabela's out of that rifle somehow, I'd send it back to Roger and have him rebarrel it to .270 Win.

It's a lovely rifle with my personal favorite Biesen checkering pattern, and wonderful wood as well. A prize!

Allen,

The Rifle was priced at $ 3,395.00 this morning, I wanted to buy the rifle this afternoon and the price was $ 3,000.00 more?

The sales person stated it was a mistake.

Roland , They decided they dont want to sell it . So they raised the price. Smiler I wonder what Cabelas paid for it. Maybe a woman brought it in from a devorce settlement..

Allen , Id Like to be in The Biesons shop when you brought it in an asked to rebarrel it . Smiler

GSP7, it doesn't sound like you think my request would be very well received!

That rifle is too good to be chambered for an off-beat wildcat cartridge. It needs to be in standard chambering, and it needs the front sling stud on the stock where it belongs.

But I guess it's all moot. At over $6,000 plus the cost and hassle to rebarrel, you're better off ordering a new rifle straight from Biesen's.

I was at Cabela's Kansas City store this last summer. Their gun library is an amazing place, and contains a lot of really fine guns that Cabela's is very proud of. Two guns stood out, but for different reasons. One of them was a Model 21, lightly engraved and cased, which was mint and possibly unfired since it left the factory, 100% original, built in 1964, and had complete factory documentation. That was one fine shotgun that was well worth owning.

The other was a Paso Robles-built John Rigby double rifle. It stood out as an utter piece of junk that was too heavy and poorly balance, had lousy open sights, and in general was poorly executed. I've handled a number of fine London-built Rigby doubles that were masterpieces. This California Rigby was NOT worthy of that lineage.

Sorry for rambling!
