I am quite confused, as, if I interpret the pictures well, the bolt is a lefty (unless the pic represent it bottom up) and the receiver (a MK3 for me) looks as a R/H....GazMorris wrote:OK, that solves the loading issue!TrxR wrote:The loading part isnt going to be a problem as I will be shooting F/TR not TR which means I will be shooting from a bipod and rear bag. The rifle in the picture has a 30 inch 1in10 twist barrel and a Roberstons double adjustable stock. He is asking 1500 Canadian for it. Not totally sure whats its worth as it would be my first Centerfire target rifle. The only reason I mentioned shooting as a lefty is I want to make sure these had a good lock on the bolt as would prefer not to get one in the face.
The Robertson's a good stock from what little I know about it and the action's good, but the real thing that will determine the price is the quality of the barrel and the number of rounds through it. CDN1500 works out at about GBP950, which would be a sensible price (assuming that sights are not included) provided that the barrel is new or nearly new and of good quality (e.g. Krieger, Bartlein etc...) Take off GBP100 or CDN150 for every 1000 rounds through the barrel, by my estimates.
NB - This is my opinion only and your mileage may vary! Good luck.

The bolt face recess shows a deep pitting, and this added to the 1/10 barrel and scope rail lets think it has been submitted to hard use....
