[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2173497, member: 3230"] I would be leery of buying any long range rifle used, esp a 28N. For one thing, why is the seller selling? I sure wouldn't sell my 28s - they are tack drivers. But even if accurate, the bbl life question is a show stopper. Sure, the seller can say the tube has 300 rounds down it, but you have no way of knowing; I haven't seem too many bore scope pics on a For Sale ad, but that might be helpful. That said, I bought a .338 Edge used; the guy who sold it posted pics of his loads. Said it pained him to sell, but he was shooting BR competitively and needed to raise money to buy a lathe and other tools. I bought the rifle for 3K to include an NXS along with 200 new pieces of 300 RUM brass. That rifle turned out to be super accurate. [/QUOTE]
