Sold pending funds. OK. The customization is minimal. Previous owner stripped all finish off wood and barrel. The 1:66 twist barrel was given an aged browning finish. The stock was given a darker finish and no factory shine. The best part is the addition of a pineapple patchbox! The negatives. Someone overtightened the lock screw or dropped rifle and a crack formed through the lock screw up to barrel channel. The crack was too tight to separate and squirt in glue, so I drilled three small holes from inside and forced some epoxy into crack. Then, I put two steel pins through top in front of screw and one from the bottom behind the screw. Crack isn't going to fail. I tested with three 80 gr FFG loads behind Buffalo Bullets. See photo of 25 yard off hand group. $375 + Shipping.
