1000, at first sounds like alot of cash to drop for a used rifle, then you get to thinkn that its probly got 6x42 leo on it, more than like leo rings, probly a 300 dollar stock, 400 into the custom tube.
my mod 70 featherwight is right at that mark after just the scope and rings were mounted, no custom stuff. then you add up everything else like the dies, bullets powder, and all the reloading stuff that was bought for this one rifle and your like holy crap.
maybe hell throw in the 243 dies, tell you the load hes been pushn and we can talk you into reloading for it. heck he might have few bullets and even powder if you tell him your interested.
as far as why hes getn rid of it, id say hes needing some cash or is just getn out of the sport. you almost never see a leo scope sold or traded on a rifle.
rifle loonies will almost never let them go. but they will drop rifles like a bad habit. in my opion the glass is worth more than the rifle.
in my opion though the rifle may be worth the grand hes asking you may be better of to find a used rem 243 for bout 300 bucks, send it in for custom tube(400) one that is suted to your style of hunting. and have your pick of stocks.
but then youd be left saveing for glass to drop on it.
