    Ask him for a price without the scope and get some thing reasonable. dont forget to haggle. The price on the tag is always negotiable..

    First rifle. Rem 700 7-08

    Hey guys, I bought it! Bore looked good - should definitely haggles a bit more but ended up buying more things, gun bag, cleaning kit, ammo etc

    I pick it up tomorrow cause I somehow forgot to bring my vouchers in! Didn't check if it was a 710 as didn't see these recent posts until now.

    Thanks for all the advice tho

    Now hopefully the weather will hold off and I'll be able to test out how it shoots on the weekend!

    Hey guys just letting you know I finally managed to put a few rounds through. Got some good groupings and it seems to be sighted in fairly well now. It's all about getting my first animal from here on in!

    keep your eyes peeled on the buy and sell section here as the odd good quality scope pops up from those who have upgraded their optics
