    I have killed a few roe deer with a stutzen and double set trigger model in 222. CF2 is a big action for that small round.

    I don't like rifles when the action size is generic, ala Tikka. An action built around a cartridge/family of cartridges is far more favourable, aka Sako L461, Howa mini, for a multitude of reasons - size/weight of action, bolt travel.

    This will be as much a matter of honour as money.
    He won't want you to flick it on for a profit, nor to chop it, put a suppressor or clunky carbon stock on it.
    He most likely wants someone to use it well.
    See if he needs the money for something or would he like to be kept in rabbits, venison or single malt for a few years ?
    Some people see a price of money as a measure of respect, though.

    Have had an offer of $2500 anytime I want to sell my mint Hunter. Hope one of my grandsons looks after it to keep it in current condition

    How bloody true. Tell that to an 18yr old boy who got sucked in to buy a CF2 270 many many moons ago. Sure it damaged my hearing. A concrete post is lighter. Worst piece of engineering ever designed. Happily go to prison for grinding up into small pieces every one I see.

    I'd agree that the CF2 may not be the sleekest or best balanced rifle in the world, but at 8-ish pounds bare rifle (??) that's about the correct weight for a .270 Win.
