About Us: I am a private individual gradually selling off my collection. I prefer to sell each firearm myself instead of leaving it to the whims of an auuction. I will be listing rifles, shotguns, old, modern, some NIB, and some that are rare. In purchasing from me, you are dealing with the actual owner and not a dealer who has no familiarity with the firearm. I have owned these firearms for anywhere from a year and a half, to several decades. When purchasing from me, there will be no surprise needed repairs.


Description:
A somewhat rare firearm. Bolt Action in .308 caliber. One tiny handling mark in the stock from New In Box condition (see photo). Sold to me some years back as unfired, I have no reason to doubt it. I’ve never fired it, it’s been one of my safe queens. I do not have the box for it. No flaws on the metal. My tastes have changed over the years, so I have decided to part with it. From the research I’ve done, these first hit the market at some point around 2008. They had a short run because the introductory price of their base model was $2500, and that was a bit too steep for the common man. The goodies to justify the price were a turn-bolt action with forward locking lugs powered by a butterknife style bolt handle. They use a unique bolt design where the body of the bolt acts as a shroud that encases the entire receiver. The shroud sports some nicely detailed engraving. The trigger in the standard position has a pull of 3 lbs., the trigger can be pushed forward to a new position with a much lighter pull if preferred. Comes with a one-piece quick detachable scope mount. The clamping movement of it is engaged by rotating two levers forward that have an integral pop-out bar in them that indicates when the mount is tight. Also comes with a new Nikon Monarch 2.5x – 10x at 40mm with locking caps. I can provide 37 photos to any SERIOUS buyer. Every millimeter of the firearm will be shown so that you will know exactly what you are buying. There is a gunstrap in most the pictures. I’ve since removed it as it had some rubberized coating on it that started flaking off due to age and it was becoming a nuisance. Cash only for Local sale. For local sale I will only sell to anyone who is verified to purchase a firearm so I would need to see either a FFL, or Firearm Purchase Certificate, and ID, just like it's done at most  s/shows. Concealed Carry Permit works as well. I will ship to an FFL. If you do not have your own FFL, you must ensure that your FFL provider is accepting firearms for transfer from private individuals like me that don't have an FFL. I will also need contact info for your receiving FFL so that I can arrange shipping with them. If shipping, payment for firearm and shipping combined is by Bank Cashier's Check ONLY. Shipping is a flat fee of 65 dollars. I know this is gunsinternational but I don’t know anything about shipping a firearm overseas so I am only selling to the lower 48.
