I hope my rifle is somewhat correct.  I have a few books on order and I am reading everything on the Internet.  The stock is really fine with out any chips or cracks.  The handguard is very good with a couple of dents that are not worth discussing.  The side of the sight has the numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6.  The ladder of the sight has numbers 7 to 18.  The only other marks are a number 2 under the cartrige box and the "U" on the middle Sling clamp.

The stock is so dark it is almost black.  It is very shiny and somewhat sticky.  If all it should have is a BLO finish I will strip it.  Is BLO correct???

Is $550.00 a fair price??
