That was WAY too much money. It would have been a little more tempting had it not been 850.00. The rifle had too many scratches and bumps to be considered a nice one. I can't imagine the scope was worth 200, maybe 250. Granted, with a little bit of work, it could have been a nice rifle, but I will stick with my CDL till Winchester makes me a proper Whelen!

Well if it was beat up I can understand. If I was interested, I probably would have pointed it out and made an offer. I didn't pay the asking price for the Whelen I just bought, not that the asking price was unreasonable. I just refuse to pay asking price on used rifles, and if the store had refused to deal on the price I'd have walked. I might have left them my number to call if they changed their minds when I walked though.

Yeah, always leave your number. Scotty, that Classic might have been a steal. Those particular rifles were well-built and shoot quite well. I'm still kicking myself for trading mine off. I should have kept it, just 'cause.
Mike you are going to get my 35 before me so that you can do break in and figure out a load for the 225gr AB.
When I talked with Travis last he advised that everything was in except the defiance action.
I hope to hear from them shortly. If it takes to spring maybe we will come and have coffee to pick it up :wink:
I am not sure if a flatter lander would be able to find the place but I might give it a shot :mrgreen:
Blessings,
Dan

Dan,
My home is always open for coffee. There has been some problem in securing the Defiance actions recently. Delays are never fun, but sometimes necessary. Travis is a good one to keep you abreast of what is happening back there. I just spoke with him about another project just a short while ago. All the fellows are busy.
