I was in one of my favorite LGSs today, a pawnshop, and happened to notice a Surgeon rifle in .308 on the wall. This one is dressed in a McMillan A3 stock and wearing a Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50 on Badger rings. Jewel trigger, fluted heavy barrel. The rifle looks as if it's seen very little action. I learned the owner had pawned it back in 2010, made payments then quit so now it's for sale.
About the only thing I dislike about this package is the stock is a camo pattern I don't find attractive. But, the shopkeep pointed out that camo pattern is a $400 "upgrade" today. We went further and priced out the package were a person to order it today, it penciled out to over $6000 including the scope and various upgrades mentioned above.
The shop has a $4500 price on it but I was extended an offer to let it go for $3750. I really like this one, and it seems like a good deal on a very expensive rifle. I don't know a whole lot about Surgeon rifles but it seems as if no matter what rifle I mention, everyone says "yeah, but for that much you could buy a GA Precision or Accuracy International".
So, is this a good deal THR? Feel free to comment on Surgeon as well.
Thanks
