Samco Global M24/47

[castblast]

My son (15 years old) has wanted one of these for awhile now. I was looking on the Samco Global website and decided on this (https://www.samcoglobal.com/1-M24-47.html). If anybody has any recommendations or advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at those, too, till I read their grading criteria, which is listed in their FAQs. The bold print indicates their current selection. I found one locally with what appears to be a new, un-fired barrel for $200. Keep an eye on Gunbroker, instead.

USED: 100% original metal finish. May have Storage/Inventory marks.

those are pretty good prices.
the 8mm gives nothing up to the 30-06 either with either cast or jaxketed.

Samco is notorious for taking their time with shipping.

Thanks for all the help. I think I'm going to go ahead and get one in "excellent" condition and hope for the best.
