Frenchieboy Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) I have to sell either my 17HMR or my Ruger 10/22 to make room for a .243 which I want to buy as a foxing and deer stalking rifle to do my DSC1 with. Unfortunately the Ruger had drawn the short straw! It is about a year old and has seen about 1000 rounds through it so the barrel is really only just coming into it's own. The rifle is fitted with a Dragunov Skelleton Stock and has been camo painted (By the previous owner). It is fitted with a set of BSA Deerhunter 3-9 X 50 Scopes which have clear bright optics but the mounts, although sufficient and sturdy are a little scruffy as a couple of the allen screws stripped their threads and had to be replaced with larger ones with nuts on the bottom ends. It has a Genuine Ruger 10 shot magazine and a Butler Creek Steel Lips 25 Shot Banana Magazine. The barrel is screw cut and fitted with a Parker Hale Moderator (Which is on my ticket so if you wanted it you would need a slot for it on yours). There are sling studs fitted and I can let the buyer have a Platted Leather Sling (I believe it is a Bisley but I am not certain) to go with it but I do not have any spare Quick Release swivels for it. I would prefer a Face To Face deal so that the buyer can "Try before you buy" but i can do a RFD Transfer at the buyers expence, however I do not know how much this will cost. As the forum rules say that I have to give a price I am going to ask for £250.00 but I am prepared to be reasonably flexible if you want to make me a SENSIBLE OFFER! Any other questions please feel free to ask. Photos are available by e-mail to genuine enquiries, but no "photo collectors" who aren't really interested in buying please, that's just annoying! Edit: Maybe I should have said, I am based in East Lancashire between Rochdale and Burnley. Edited March 21, 2010 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Shame to see one go, but you have to make room I suppose. £250 is a bargain for someone. Good luck with the sale mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) Like I said, I have to make room for a .243 for foxing and deer stalking so that I can go for my DSC1 and the Ruger drew the short straw. I have to discipline myself or I will end up with more guns than I could handle! It will be a bargain for someone as I am prepared to be quite flexible on the price! Edit: Whilst the rifle is still for sale I have had a few enquiries come in but at the moment no-one has said a definite "Yes". I will treat this sale as fairly as possible by saying that the first person to actually make the "right offer" and say a definite YES will get the rifle. I do not want to dissappoint anyone but I have to be as fair as possible. This Ruger 10/22 is also advertised on another forum. I hope you understand! Thanks Guys Edited March 22, 2010 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
