[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1728812, member: 52437"] What do you all do when inspecting a rifle you want to purchase? I ordered one through the net and my FFL said we will inspect it first prior to me "taking ownership" of it. I will check the crown and flashlight the barrel (I do not have a bore scope). I will look for cosmetic flaws, free floating barrel, run the action, check the safety function. Is there something else I should look for? For a factory mid level rifle...how picky are you about cosmetic flaws? I don't mean a large ding in a nice wood stock but maybe a faint scratch? This will be a hunting rifle which I will likely scratch anyways. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
