[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1331369, member: 70559"] This is not exactly a boat; although it weighs about eleven pounds. The action is in great shape. It has fired so many 3 shot 3/8" 100 yard groups I can't even remember. The Parkerized barrel and action usually puts three shot under an inch with its .375-.416 barrel. Often under 3/4". It has what my son-in-law calls "the butt ugly recoil reduction system." It has a brake on the 27 1/2" barrel and a 1/2" gap before the fairly new thick decelerator recoil pad on the other end. In that 1/2" gap are three rods. The two on the top and bottom are guide rods for the adjustable shock absorber to absorb the initial powder/bullet acceleration. It works so well I can fire a couple boxes of full throttle loads at one session with nary a bruise. I hold it like a "BB". The bases have been on it for decades. It does not function so well if one pulls it in tight like most do. It has the original leather sling from 1977 when I bought it. The trigger is not up to my present standard despite this rifle was the one I used for decades; before I got old and it got heavy. I think for a shooter rifle $800 plus shipping is a good price. Here are some photos to show it the dings and the recoil reduction system.
