I have just one thing that you should think about. I have a safe full of L/H rifles and shotguns and they are definately not cheaper than R/H guns. If anything they are about ten percent more. Around my neck of the woods the dealers cant keep them in stock. A L/H rifle isn't much use to a right hander but a R/H rifle isn't much good to the l/h shooter either.Sounds like youve got a great deal on a fine caliber rifle. Buy it you'll like it. FRJ
