You are on the right track in trying to save $$ for decent optics, but GC prices on 2nd hand rifles are a rip off. Maybe the odd good deal to be had, but in most cases their asking prices are 30 - 50% higher than private mkt. I get the fact they are in business & have overheads to cover, but their prices really are taking the piss. If you are up for haggling then make them an offer. If they’ve got a $1800 price tag on 2nd rifle then I guess they paid less than $1000 for it, and more likely $8-900. Offer them $1200 - you never know your luck.
As others have said, plenty of good rifles come up for sale here. Some good rifle + scope packages too.
