Gentlemens:
I am getting the distinct impression that this concern is not everyone's favorite purveyor of fine firearms. <g>
Thank you all for your responses. In this case I probably would not mind the item being somewhat less than described. I have been looking for a Farquaharson action for a while. They have listed a messed with rifle which has, as its sole redeeming virtue, exactly the action type I desire.
Besides the possibility of optimistic descriptions, I can see some of the potential pitfalls of absentee bidding. It would not surprise me to learn that absentee winners tend to win at the very top of their bid limit.
I had hoped they would have a bit more warm and fuzzy reputation. I will give it some thought and see what can be worked out.
OWD, does your man bid as well?
Glenn
