RE: Good deal?
If it' s an A-Bolt II, it' s a good price. If it' s the standard hunter model, I' d definately see if you could talk him down a bit.
If it' s the old A-Bolt, I think the price is a little stiff unless it' s a stainless stalker. But, that is one fine rifle too. In fact, I prefer it over the II model.
