Michael,
Just got home and will send you a PM shortly, hope we can work something out. But I did want to reply about the price for you and others. New, MSRP is $950 without a scope:

Not saying you can't get a deal through your dealer, and I understand you are not interested in the scope, but I just wanted all to know that this MSRPis what influenced my original asking price, along with the condition (which is really stellar IMO).
ORIGINAL: MichaelT.
I have no intereest in the scope, and I believe I can buy one new for that price, but I want a 7mm mag... but not at that price.
