This is the 2nd Rifle I sold to him.
The young man is the son of a buddy of mine. When he turned 12, his dad said he was chomping the bit to go deer hunting. I sold him a Savage 243 that I put into an after market Black / Grey spider web stock, VariX II 3x9 for about $200 a few years ago. He is deadly with that gun. He now has some friends that have got into the the "Long Range" shooting. They live in Eastern WA where .. yea .. you could shoot as far as you think you can. So for two years now he has been saying he wants to get into this and has been researching and talking with others. He has laid his hands on long range rigs with glass that I bet are over $7000 and talked with them about the whole idea.
I broke down the last conversation I had with his dad and told him maybe I could sell his son my Sendero - 300RUM (big, strong kid - varsity football - center).
He has worked all summer and had the cash and was going to buy into something. I sold the gun w/ - Jewel Trig, Muzzle Brake, bases rings, VX3 4.5x14 - M1 turrets, and reloading dies and supplies. I basically gave it to him but when he came over to look at the gear you could see the excitement. Yes I got some cash but not what I would sell on the street for. I have a Nikon range finder I'm going to loan him for the season to get started. He already has about 15 shots through it and his dad says that he can shoot it very well. Now he just needs a little mentoring and lots of shooting.
Funny thing is his dad was standing to the back and side with the first shot off the bench and found out the hard way about muzzle brakes. :shock:
