From what I understood, he lost his job and needed to sell some guns to cover his expenses. I assure you there is nothing wrong with this gun. If someone were to buy it and it didn't shoot as advertised, I would offer them their money back. I am selling it because I don't use it that much and need to free up some cash.
As for what has happened to Wildcat, I really don't know.
I don't have the scope. Just the rifle is for sale. Any pics in particular you would be interested in? Please pm your e-mail address and I would be happy to provide some more pics. Thanks, Jed
