@ $700.00, It sounds like you are paying the price just because the rifle is chambered in .280. As some of the previous posts have stated, even in excellent shape, they can be had @ $425.00 or less and can be found chambered in .243, .308, and 30-06 which are all good deer rounds. The .280 is a great round!!!...... But Like Vapodog said....you better pass on this because another model 4, in the same condition can save you almost 300 bucks .....just by going with another cartridge choice.
