Thank you guys! And thank you Mr. Hosmer. A friend of mine named Brock who is both on this site and jouster speaks very highly of you! I knew I didn't steal it by any means lol! But 2499 was insane and they had sat on the rifle for nearly 2 years and for some reason that early serial number and how clean the rifle was made me want it pretty badly. As my same friend Brock says, "I didn't overpay...I bought too early" ;)
