Thanks, great deal sounds like a win-win for you and the seller.
That's a similar price I have seen elsewhere.
I hope to get to the states next your and will endeavour to pick one up.
There was a 209/276 with stock on gunbroker a while back, I asked the seller if they would post to Australia but they did not respond. I think the opening price was $500, and I know it did not get a bid. The same seller has a website with 2 listed, a 209/277 for $550 & a 209/276 for $650 and if he had replied I would have purchased both. I cannot understand some people's business ethics I have to wonder how they survive.
