I think he paid $350 for it back then and it came with a cheap tasco scope that he sold to someone for $50, and bought a Leupold for it. Sweet setup and overall inexpensive tack driver.
X3) You can't beat that price for a 700. I've paid way more for a 700 just to use a donor action for a custom build. And the end of the day, 10-20+ years from now it will still be worth what you paid for. That can't be said of $400 throwaways being made.
