Yes, but surely he's dreaming if he expects to get $600!

I didn't notice that. I think you're right, money is not moving right now. My fultons target rifle just went for a song, about half of its value last year.

Nice story, but that's probably all it is. The rifles have been proofed so they had bolts once. Barreled actions without bolts imported to Canada for the "national team"? Why bother, there were loads of brand new Long Branch actions available. AFAIK rifles were not provided for the Bisley teams (if that is what "national" refers to), you brought your own; the one(s) you used to qualify for the team!
