[Fatback]

Beautiful rifle. Top notch seller. But with confidence folks. It would be headed my way if it wasn’t backwards for me(I’m a lefty).

Factory rifles don't come any better than this- that wood is spectacular. If I didn't already have a M70 338 I'd grab this in a minute.

I don't need a 4th 338wm, but I damn sure do want that one.

Thanks all for the comments.

Also forgot to say. Have original box for rifle also. Will sell just rifle if someone does not want scope.

 

[JeffD]

Not that it adds much to the comments above, but Butch is a totally solid, great guy to do business with. The buyer can be assured everything will be at least as good and likely better than described. Hope the medical problems are sorted out soon and you can get back to Africa.

 

[Mark Biggerstaff]

Can split scope off of package.

Rifle only and all reloading components
$2000 shipped.

Want to do a follow up on this sale.
First @godwincp was a pleasure to deal with and very understanding when things didn't go right.
Gun was packed in bubble wrap and in a SKB single gun case packed right. Not the cheap SKB. But the Pelican Style.
When he went to his shop to get gun, Stock was cracked at rear trigger guard screw thru grip. Well after alot of issues FedEx denied claim and any responsibility.
The shop had unpacked the gun before he arrived! He was no present during unpacking. I refunded his money and had shop ship me rifle back. I had shipped @godwincp all the reloading components and boxes directly to his house.
He graciously sent them all back at his expense since I was now dealing with a useless rifle.
Upon return to me I found several marks on trigger guard and floorplate that were not there when shipped. Only my speculation as to what really happened, but it is what it is.
@godwincp is a great guy to deal with and thanks for being patient thru all this.

I will now restock and have metal refinished and make me a shooter out of what was once a gorgeous rifle.

Good grief what a lousy thing to happen to such a nice rifle. First gun I had my nearest shop receive for me was an old Parker DH and when I arrived to pick it up it was being passed around like a bottle of liquor at the campfire in an old western. I had to get in line to look at it, lol. I also had to take a few minutes to simmer down before I calmly and casually mentioned that I was glad I didn’t find anything not mentioned by the seller because that would be a big mess seeing as how I wasn’t the one to unpack it. Thankfully my guy had a light come on and said that he hadn’t considered that and how that would be a problem for him too,…BINGO! I’ve unpacked all since and have never seen anyone else arrive to find their’s already opened either.
