We are not talking about a Savage here. We are talking about a high end rifle. Try to pick up any high end rifle at any show and play around with the action. You will soon either get a dirty look, or a rifle taken away from you. Anyone who buy's a high end rifle does not want every Tom, Dick, and Harry at the show to handle the rifle. Ask permission first, you will normally be allowed. However with a hard to get high end rifle, you might have to prove you are a buyer first.

This rifle could even be considerd a collection type rifle, and I promise you the buyer would not want the action cycled. Tom.
