look at the "join date" for a clue.....
someone joins and then quickly has something for sale .....
sounds like someone out for a fast buck !!

also, if Joel (see above) had a conversation with Hannah (the seller), then this should be investigated....

Re: How do you keep it fun ?

Re: References to help beginner setting new rifle?

If you posted a city you live in or near, perhaps someone close by might be willing to help you. If you'd rather do it yourself, get a copy of book called "Ways of the rifle 2009," it's worth every cent. Go to web site: https://www.creedmoorsports.com/product ... ifle/Books
