I've had a hankerin' for a Lyman Deerstalker for a while now. I actually ordered a new one in flint several weeks ago, $400 with shipping from Midsouth, but I sent it back because the stock was warped. I got a refund instead of exchanging it because stuff suddenly came up and I needed the money. You know how that goes.
But I found a used capper today that was too good to pass up. The guy wanted $250 for it. I tried to talk him down to $200, but $225 was the lowest he would go, so I took it.
He had installed a Pachmayr Decelerator pad (which I wasn't too keen on at first, but it makes the length of pull perfect for me) and a Thompson/Center peep sight. It has the factory blade/white bead front and fold-down rear sight. The bore looks brand new. It was cleaned and oiled, so I could tell he takes care of his guns (so many used guns I look at are filthy).
I plan to replace the plastic bendystick with a hickory ramrod and put a leather sling on it. Oh, and it's a .54.
