Picture this:
A Distinguished Rifleman, winner of the Rattlesnake Award (a National Trophy awarded to the highest scoring individual in the National Trophy Team match at Camp Perry) and a whole ROOM full of other awards has a few guns for sale. I missed some of them, but was encouraged to go to his house yesterday to see what he had. When I got there, the only thing left was a .17 cal Feinwerkbau 300S with Feinwerkbau aperture sights, a pellet trap, 6000 10 meter targets, and a huge box of match pellets. He wanted it to go to someone who would use it. It has a beautiful wood stock (inletted with a hand stop rail and fitted with an adjustable buttplate, and Feinwerkbau multi-adjustable trigger of couse). Now, I'd use it, but not knowing the air rifle market, I didn't know what the price on this gun should be. I asked Jon Coppenbarger (used to be JC121) a few times "should I get it?" lol. I finally got it. Went home and checked the Fleyderman's gun blue book. They list it at $1150 for 100% (this one is at least 98%), and I hear they were $1200 at Perry this year without sights. My price?
$300
