Hate to be sacrilegious, but a lot of money for a halfstock.  ;D  I like the Hagerstown fullstock Hawkens a lot better.

I agree with AVLRC - beautiful rifle, but sky high price!  Plus a 20.5% fee.....

If you go to the auction house to bid, the buyers fee is 17.5%. 

One heck of a rifle.  Ole Cletus had a nice collection. 

I wonder what my wife would say?

I just asked her.  She did not say no, at least in words.

It is predicted to sell for close to twice the opening bid price.  It’s a hot collectible.
