personally I would never think of dropping that sort of money at gun City. My local store is basically a bunch of sales reps who have limited knowledge of what they are dealing with.
I've corrected them than once on things.
Start looking at smaller gun shops where they do smithing. They can offer some supprisingly good deals on refurbished rifles of good quality. Tend to know what they are on about and have tested the stuff they work on. Some have good import contacts and can bring in great guns at good prices.
my view though. each to their own.
