If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

picked this up off of another web board. had it shipped to my dealer last week and when he got it the heal and butt plate was broke off during shipping. he repaired it for me and I got it today. very nice piece and nicely sportered with a Pacific Tool peep sight. Barrel date is 11-18. bore is beautiful and my dealer had 4 boxes of Remington RN 220 gr. cartridges so i got those too. Can't wait to try it on a nasty Russian boar!

Looks like a decent 17 sporter.
