My "new" SB2 Ultra...

[demented]

  Had no idea I was in the market for one but I had one fall in my lap this evening. Like new, .308 Winchester, Cheapo Simmons 8-point 3x9, Allen Neoprene Sling, buttstock shell holder, one box of WW-Ballistic Silvertips. Guy swears it will do under 2" @100 yards.  How did I do on the price of $200?  2" groups are nothing to brag about, but hopefully I can do a bit of work toward tightening these a bit.  I think the one thing that caused my impulse buy is the laminated stock and forearm on this rifle!  Sure does look sweet!  The metal finishing ain't too shabby either!

Congrats, that's a darn good buy!!

I really like the laminated stocks. My wife thinks my Ultra is one of my better looking guns and I have a few. I think your $200 was a good buy, wish I could get one for that price. They are around $250 new and you do not get anything else. BTW 2" @100 gets you easily into the vitals of a deer at 200 yards. I think you could probably do better unless the guy has already done everything to it (unlikely).

He may have only shot one type of ammo out of it. I think the thing to do is to polish the bore with Flitz. Then try a few different brands and weight bullets.   Dale

 Sounds like a good deal to me. I think you might do better if you had better glass on it.

Thanks for all the replies. Yep, If I keep it, new glass will be a must.  Never owned a Nikon, may give a Buckmaster a try.  Problem is, I just had my FFL buddy order a 30-30 for me so I can take advantage of all the brass, powder etc that I have.  Since I'll be using spitzers in the 3030, I wonder if the 308 wil be redundant.  WTH, guess a man can't own too many toys!
