This does not really address your question, but I would shop around before going to Sheel's. I am sure there smith is good, but there prices are crazy from what I seen. One time I was selling some guns so I thought I would give them a try. I was in no hurry nore did I need the money. One was a Browning 22 auto mint shape, one was a Browning 22mag A bolt that they dont make anymore with a 3x9x40mm Leaupold scope it had about 200 rounds thru it, and the last one was a Ruger No 1 Tropical in a .416 Rem Mag, with a 3x9x50mm Leupold scope in almost perfect shape. They offered me 600.00 for all of them. At first I thought it was a joke. I told the man one of the scopes was worth that much alone. He said the scopes really did not matter. They would not even make another offer. I packed up my stuff, and left. On the way home I stopped at Gander Mountain just to see what they would do. They offered me I believe it was 1,300.00 the first time, we reached a point we were both happy with. They came out good, and so did I. I know you can not pay the exact price there going for but 600.00 bucks for three perfect rifles with Leupold scopes on them was a joke.
