[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 884810, member: 55580"] I guess my questions would be: 1) Do you know how the gun shoots? 2) How much is he selling it for? 3) What would your long-term goal be as far as a build? If the gun shoots great, then it could be worth it depending on the price. For me though, a BDL just isn't typically worth the money. For the same price, you can typically buy a brand new SPS and put a B&C stock on it. If you are going to be ditching the BDL stock with a build anyway, why not just buy an SPS and replace the stock? No other real differences in the SPS versus the BDL. As far as your long-term goals go, are you looking for a heavier gun or something lighter that you can tote in the woods? If you are looking for a lighter build, then again the BDL (or a new SPS) wouldn't be terrible, provided it shoots. Shoot it for 5 years until the barrel goes (while possibly replacing the stock and/or trigger during that time) and once the barrel goes, buy a new one and true the action. Just my two cents...
