Ok, not sure if this should go here but here goes. Anyone know anything about it or did I mess up. Went to buy some powder this morning and ran into a guy trying to sell one. The gun shop didn't even want to try to mess with reselling it the owner didn't even make him an offer. Well my either brilliant (or dumb) arse shot him a price after seeing his face get all twisted I figured I was way low. So I left it alone. Got to talking to owner about some pistol powder, I need to restock my supply of HP-38 and I heard he had it. ok he had it but was limiting sales to two lb per customer for now, he only got a limited supply. Ok I'm fine with that. Anyways the guy with the rifle, a Savage 110 walks back up and ask I was serious about my offer, I told him yes but I had never heard of to so I was on the dark about anything to do with it. Well lets say I own it and now the questions begin. i got the rifle, dies and 35 loaded shells, 15 once fired brass, the rest of a box of 160gr Barnes TSX bullets and a target he supposedly shot with said rifle. If I aint been screwed it shoots ok for just 15 shots. Will try to post a pic of target at the end. I was so dumbfounded he sold it for my price now I'm thinking either one its got the be a kicker or worse the target is bogus and I just got an action and a mater stake. My biggest question is powders to try. Yeah I know I can hunt them down in the net but I hang out here more than there so, I here I be. Rifle doesn't look like its has a hard life other than older wood stock and a definite barrel swap as bluing doesn't match. Scope mounts but no scope, would have been really skeptical if it had one for the price. I didn't steal it, but I didn't pay much either or at least I'm hoping I didn't. More specs and details to follow. Its still setting on the bench waiting on a better look over. but here is pic of target (if i didn't screw up)
Attachment Deleted target was supposedly shot at 200yds, I have a Leopold scope setting here looking at me so it may have new home and i may have new addition to the family. Its not a REAL Lazzeroni but lets be real I couldn't go that high and still have an understanding wife.
