This one looks like a 2E version - hogs-back stock. The "old" Model 2 is highly sought after, especially if it hasn't been boogered with. Better yet, I think a Model 5 is much nicer.

If youre after a model 5, dealer in superior drv Dandenong(forgot name) had 2 the other week for around the 900 mark.

So I think I did ok.
Looks in good nic but I won't really know till I get it. I have a leupold VX-1 3x9x40 scope ready to go on too. Cheers

What's the barrel - standard or aftermarket?

No major changes until the model 2e (short version of a very complex history)

The Model 1 is different in a few ways. Trigger, sights, bolt etc Enough that the Model 2 wasn't just called the Model 1a

I’ll be keen to know what he thinks of it.

it's standard apart from the stock

I'd try it with the scope that's on it before you try the VX on it. I tried an older VX on mine and couldn't get it shooting consistently- a combination of incorrect paralax and inconsistent cheekweld due to high mounting to clear the bolt.
