thats the way to get started reloading, get everything soup-to -nuts from somebody giving it up. to buy everything new and separate can easily go as much as the gun. make sure he gives you everything including notes/recipes on loads used,books,press,tumbler,powder measure,case trimmer,all dyes for all calibers, the works. if he lives nearby he may be willing to help you set up and teach you the ropes. a couple of sugestions prepare the reloading site before you get everything preferably inside in the a/c., have very good lighting,and a bench that is rock solid, attatched to the studs in the wall is better than free standing and make it a little on the high side so you don't have to bend over so much. the press handle generates a-lot of torque so mounting it on a metal plate helps. being able to reload is like getting several different guns because diff loads within the same caliber to do drasticly different things, load some light and some heavy bullets, cheapo's for target and primo's for hunting, you won't regret it. being able to afford to shoot 100 rounds a month will make you a much better rifle shot.
Thanks for the heads up NG. Going to meet the guy in the next hour.
The guy ended up putting me off for a few hours and about 8pm he calls while I'm out on date night and leaving the next morning at 3am for camp. Passed on it till I got back. Picking it up sometime today. :clap
Picked it up today! It's in great condition. Redfield 4x12x50 scope. Zeroed in at 200 yds. he says. Got a bunch of reload stuff but not everything 100%. Think I got a good deal for 5 bills. Gonna go pick up some shells and try to get some range time in the next few days. A buddy of mine is building a commercial 500 yd. range and should be done in the next month or so then I can stretch it out a bit. :rockon
Finally got around to getting a few pics. It has 1 little scratch at the forend of the stock and other than that it looks almost new.
