• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

Just picked this up on Aucton Arms, need some eagle eye's to look it over. Barrel is listed at 21" but that is at the front of the reciever, so it's probably a 22". I've already spun off the Leupold 24X so I'm into this thing cheap. I know there are several guys here that just see stuff on these rifles that I miss or frankly didn't know so any comments, good or bad, are welcome.

Since no sight ramp is present, I'd say that the original 23.6" barrel was cut just behind the sight ramp. The original varnish has been replace with oil. Otherwise, it looks in pretty nice shooting shape. Since after remarketing the scope you probably only have $400 or so in the gun at this point, I'd say you got a bargain. The action alone is worth that.
