I was not really considering the rusted rifle, especlly since there are so many other rifles I would like to have besides it. The Oberndorf does interest me and from what I can tell $400.00 is a decent price. Just don't know if I want it that bad. I've been eyeballing a Winchester model 1890 .22LR project gun that's in need of help, zero blue, that looks like oiled and steelwooled to remove rust, but is all there and functions at $200.00
