GATHUMPER:

Unless I can visit SARCO and handle the rifle in question, I will not buy from them. It is possible that they have rifles that are in good shape, but my experience has been so poor that I would not trust their description even if it is detailed. IF you were able to make a trip to SARCO and look through the rifles in stock, or if you knew someone locally who could do this legwork for you, then the odds would be in your favor.

Allan's Armory has been in my experience a far better place to spend money. Allan typically describes his rifles in detail, and if you call and ask specific questions about a specific rifle, he can give you details in specific. Actually, the rifles are quite closely priced as well.

I ignore any description that may be given on the SARCO site.

Due to varying weights of stock wood, the guns can weigh a pound or so one way or the other. Trimming the factory stock will obviously lighten the weight also, and is the reason my 46 is as light as it is.
