Hi-line Montana
Located in Montana. Not currently listed elsewhere. Will ship USPS Priority insured with tracking. All forms of payment can be discussed.

In light of all the scams going around I am willing to do a phone call if anyone would like to, likewise I have done multiple deals on here I can reference.

Up is a project I never got around to. a Franz Sodia of Ferlach built Steyr sporter. Beautiful gun it is not flawless, the flaws detailed:
#1. The "Set" trigger sets the action, and makes the front trigger pull light....but does not actually drop the bolt. a light pull drops something inside, then normal trigger pull drops the hammer. I am not sure of how they work and did not want to tackle it. It does function properly as I had 4 factory rounds of 8X50 I put through it.
#2. The front sling loop has come off. Before I got it.
#3. It was used, and has normal wear marks upon it, though no cracks and appears sound.

Beautiful engraving, it is chambered in 8X50 mannlicher and included in the sale is a set of RCBS custom 8X50 dies. They were $225 themselves when I purchased them. Barrel is 22" and LOP to front trigger is 13".

Would consider trades towards anything but primarily looking for a drilling, or a new Mauser M18.

Looking to get $1250 shipped to lower 48 west of the mississippi, add $50 for locations east of Mississippi.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
