I think it sounds like a super deal. The only drawback to the 6mm PPC is cost of brass. It ain't cheap. But then again it is an accuracy cartridge, not a barn burner, so the brass should last a long time, as well as the barrel. I remember when it was first introduced and Rick Jamison of Shooting Times Magazine proclaimed it to be the most accurate factory rifle and ammo he had ever tested. (Of course, it was a Sako rifle with Sako factory ammo, so I am not sure just how "factory" it was, if you get my drift). Midway wants $64.99 for a box of 100 Lapua .220 Russian cases which can be necked up for the 6mm PPC. Probably time consuming and expensive, but from what I have read, the accuracy potential borders on unbelievable. Ed Matunas reported firing "8 different 10 shot groups at 100 yards with a Sako single shot rifle and Sako factory ammo, all small, ragged holes of 1/4" or smaller." He then claimed that some his reloaded cases provided groups half that size. (Straight from the Nosler Reloading Guide 5th Edition, Page 115).
If you decide you don't want it, let me know. If your buddy offers me the same deal, color it sold.
