So I did the obligatory Wikipedia search on this. Seems like a fairly common rifle. Nothing out of the ordinary.
The 88 doesn’t have a hammer. Lever guns are supposed to have a hammer. OK Savage lovers hate me now, and the Ruger guys as well...I love Ruger too, but lever guns have don’t have hammers: so... This is almost enough to make me hard pass.
But I don’t own a .243. It seems like a great caliber. Would be a good when-my-daughter-gets-old-enough-to-hunt-gun...
What do you all think? $600 seems steep, but prices are artificially high at the moment. A little time and... It has the vintage scope. Looks clean and sound. iDK what year it is, should have paid attention to the serial number. Might be pre64 which would add value, but that isn’t crucial to me because it would never be a defense against dangerous game gun...
I will likely pass, but if enough of you think it great, then perhaps...
Thanks,
Greg
