hands off!

Second hand is fine, but only if you know the guy, have a chance to test fire it first and check it with a borescope!

all likely true to some degree - and your comments on check bore scope great advice - but I do wonder about the many expensive specials in modern calibers that come up for sale to - very expensive action barrel stock 5-7k price tag and the excuse for sale is making room not used - well I do wonder sometimes if the real reason is disappointment - as for older forearms we will have to agree to disagree - an early Sako Forestor in .308 with a good barrell my first choice -second a new Sako 90 wood blued in .308 or a decent Sako 85
