Guy is asking $600 with the scope. Seems like a good deal.

That's a buy! Look at the figure in the stock.

That rifle would go for $600 around my neck of the woods without the scope. If I didn't already have one in that caliber, I'd be all over that one like stink on shit.

It's a rifle. It's a great buy. You want it. There...justified!

Well, my scheme worked. I waited until this morning before I gave in and called on it. The seller was waiting for his buyer to show up at the front door.

No regrets, Wife's car needs tires, we need more saving$$ in the bank in case one of us loses our job etc etc.

You can do just as well on your own, and at an affordable pace.

First, find a used Ruger #1 at the best price...doesn't have to be 45-70.

2) Have I.T.&D. make your barrel, cut the chamber, and install: $200 approx.

3) Find a nice piece of wood on ebay (for a 2 piece stock) $100, then get it turned for your rifle: $150 to $200. Finish/sand/stain it yourself.

Final gunsmithing until done: $150

The beauty is that you'll take 2 years to finish it, and you won't be paying the final cost out all at once.

It's my favorite way of getting a firearm I want.
