Alex:
Had a $&$ in the 60XX range a few yrs. back--no scroll on the action. Came for $650; left for the same. If you need an open-choked brush gun, it might serve as these are incredibly lightwgt. Obviously it has a solid rib and I don't know the intricacies of rib/no rib pricing of which Bill speaks, but I'd suggest attempting to negotiate downward as there is a bit of surface rust and a lot of spacers on the back end. Have another look at the lockup, the integrity of the rib, the chokes for remuddling, etc. and go from there. Infatuations of the "getting to know you" sort can be got out of later but maybe a bit costly in a time of tight money.
