Is it new? Sounds like a decent deal to me.

[TN Outlaw]

it is not new but in good condition

It's not a really "good" deal, but it is a very fair deal for both parties. I'd buy it.

Cool man, be sure to post up pictures.

Check around to see if you can find an aftermarket trigger for it.

If you're comfortable with doing a little bit of disassembly & reassembly, the Savage MkII trigger job (for non-accutrigger models) is simple and effective. There is lots of information on it, and a seriously sweet trigger results. Cost = some brass (possibly salvaged form an old 30-06 casing or similar) and a spring from a ball point pen.

I just got a non-accutrigger model F myself, and it is a tack driver, even with the as-yet-unmodified trigger. It will only get better.

By the way, the "trigger job" will take you around 20-30 minutes, and can give you a trigger pull measured measured in single-digit ounces, if you wish.
