I've bought 4 rifles NIB from reputable sellers in the past 3 years. Not one problem what so ever. Sned the money and they sent me the gun. Again, all were NEW rifles so the were pretty much as described. Probably gona buy a 700 VTR in 243 or 204 in the next week or two also. I don't fool with the bidding. Usually the buy now price is about 100 below what it cost any where else so I just hit the buy now button and no worries about did I "win".

As said before, check the seller's feed back. 2 sales or 2000 sales and an A+ rating.
