Look's like the cat is out of the bag.
Yes, I did the buy-it-now on this. It is at my dealer's
and Story, you are right, it is a Sedgley, my dealer
says that it is marked Sedgley on the barrel.
XAUSA, when I first saw the rifle on gunbroker, I thought,
wow that is a Noske scope and mount and that was the basis
for the buy-it-now decision, I knew it wouldn't last long.
The next day, it dawned on me that it was probably a Sedgley.
The seller, I suspect, works on black rifles and probably took in
as a partial payment for some tricked out AR-15 and just wanted
to move it quickly. He seemed like a nice guy when I spoke with
him on the phone. My dealer lives some distance away, and
our schedules are messed up by the holiday. I hope to pick it up
relatively soon and will give a full report with pictures.
I thought a lot about Michael this past weekend, how much
he, his books, this forum and the friends I've made here have
encouraged me to pursue fine bolt action firearms. I reread
the chapter on his Hutton, Chapter 18 of Volume II.
