Good Deal or Not?
« on: April 25, 2006, 11:12:09 AM »
Guy at work wants to sell a Winchester Ultimate Shadow (Blued) with a BSA 8x32x40 (I think its a 40) scope for $225 dollars.  The cal is 7mmWSM.  Is this a good deal, as I don't know much about this gun.

I would say it's a good price on the rifle.  The ultimate shadows have a nice synthetic stock with the rubber inserts, and the 7mmWSM is an excellent caliber. I have a model 70 in 300WSM and absolutely love it.
That scope however, is junk. Take it off and use it for a ring turning wrench  or throw it in the dumptster.  Plan on saving up another $200+ for some good optics and you'll have a very nice rifle.

True for that scope.  Just didn't know much about the rifle.  Right now shooting a Kimber topped with a Swaroski and a Remington LVSF with a Zies Conquest.
