Used to have a pair of #3s, the cheap version of the #1 and regret selling them. One was in FoFo mag. and the other was in .45-70 Gov. The FoFo was pleasant to shoot and a great hog rifle. The .45-70 on the other hand was quite painfull with the garret loads that I had for it, for anti bear at the camp!
Now if that was just the cheap #3 that was so cool and fun at the range, I bet the better #1 is a pleasure to shoot with the better designed stocks, recoil pads and and real barrel lengths.
I duno how much that rifle is going for, but if its a fair price it would probably make for a great shooter(
Like New sounds like its been shot to me).
