Eyepiece looks parked.

[Chuckindenver]

smoking high price for a parts scope.

[Jim Tarleton]

$20 to ship a scope? I think I will sell mine.

How about $75 to ship a rifle!!!! Even insured, that's ridiculous!

On the 03A4, I think I'd want to know more about the DAL marked stock, especially the bolt cutout on the right side. AFAIK only FJA marked stocks or unmarked replacement stocks would have the bolt cutout. I also believe that "mint" means as originally manufactured, which the 03A4 is not.

[Chuckindenver]

75.00 is the cost plus insurance at 7500.00
if you shipped it UPS it would cost even more.
rates have changed a bit...
rifle is a bit over priced, in my opinion.
rings are too low, id be suprised if the bolt clears the bell.

• Crummy PIX
• Incomplete & BS Description
• Bad stock markings
• No S/N
• No BBl date
• No return
• Price about $3k too high

Take a pass on this one....

Bringing the thread back to the original topic. Yes the eyepeice appears to be a replacement/parked part.

Take a real close look at the serial # engraving, whadda ya see?

[Chuckindenver]

the data plate looks fishy, periods after each line, they looked engraved and not stamped..too nice.
i still say its a parts scope, the knobs look wrong as well, mine doesnt have exposed screw heads on the nobs.
