He bought a new one from his LGS instead obviously...

Usually there is a greater discount to be had on second hand guns that you got with a Scout in the past. Price for them is still up a bit but they're starting to come down a little now that the initial hype has passed.

Caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware.

All depends on the quality of the item. Ask lots of questions and know what your buying and you won't look back.

I rarely buy rifles that I cant check out first and I have over 15 second hand rifles that are as good or better than expected
