"All the extras count, and if something is not included then there is always a cause for discussion which usually ends with a reduction of price."

If the gun was priced where it should, that wouldn't be needed or it's just an excuse to crunch the price. I would say it is just an excuse to crunch the price.

If someone wants a gun with a bolted safety, then go and buy one, the world is a big place !!!

"However, when there is no bolted safety present, I have often heard clients comment that its a shame the rifle was not fitted with one from new."

How much real hunting have these people done ?

Secondly, things go in and out of fashion
- full length ribs, quarter ribs. I prefer Qtr ribs but if it's got full rib, saying I prefer Qtr ribs is pointless if they weren't around when the gun was made.
