This gun has been some fun and it is ready to hunt with an original K4 Weaver scope. I went to a local range last night to see what it would do with some 180 gr Swift A Frames. They grouped at 75 yards fairly well but these were the only shots I took.

@alexaib recently gifted me North America’s Perfect Shot and one of the first things I noticed was Craig’s gun in this photo. I do not have any plans to hunt with this gun but this gun is asking for someone from AH to hunt with it…Weaver, A Frames, Craig Boddington, I mean come on.

Well I have a model 88 chambered in .308 that is used condition but no problem hunting. There is a small dent in the bell of the weaver and some pitting towards the end of the barrel. Those seem to be the only issues but didn’t effect accuracy at all. I have added photos but please reach out if you are needing any more.

I am asking $1400 OBO. Can ship or meet anywhere in Texas.

Very nice rifle. A friend of mine just offered me a similar aged 88 in 308 for a very good price. Had no idea they were bringing this kind of $$$.

It's a sad one to let go of but I have trips to pay for and they are only going up.
 
Lowering to $1200. Also open to trades if anyone has any Sako or AR they are looking to swap
 
IDT pre-'64 means anything excepting M70s. Aside from that, neat gun. Many old-timer fans. Good luck! Post-63 musclecars/engines are betterer! ;)

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
