Good deal???
« on: November 04, 2008, 03:30:44 AM »
I've seen a 25-06 Handi with a Nikon 3-9 Prostaff offered up for $300.  The guy says the rifle/scope were bought new last year and is unfired.  This rifle has a plain, dark colored, what appears to be laminate type stock.  Looks to be a good deal to me....,almos too good - anything in particular to look for in a gun like this?  Serial number is NU-2323XX......, any idea how old?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

If it is new and unfired sounds like good deal.
look in the FAQs for year the N is for NEF the U is the year don't want to spoil all your fun, then you will get to see lots more info.

Scope was about $150 new...

Gun is a 2004 per GBO FAQ's & Sticky...

If truly unfired, it's a great deal...   As long as it's in
good + shape, not a bad deal... 

Unless you know them personally, it could be tough
to tell if unfired.

Good luck,
Mike

It's not likely an Ultra unless it's checkered, pallet wood(walnut stained hardwood) laminated stocks are made also, they're common and somewhat  confusing too to describe!!  :D The butt on the rifle below is laminated pallet wood.
