Thanks for the reply Peter.

I didn't know you could pick up "name" rifles for that little at the London auction houses. It is quite uncommon to see anything but the usual low grade American & European rifles 2nd hand in any of the gun shops that I have visited in N England and Scotland (although I haven't been to and of the Edinburgh gun rooms).

I will have to visit the auctions when I am back in the UK! No doubt much cheaper than exporting firearms from the other side of the planet!
