GET IT!!!!! I picked up one early last year. Paid more than I wanted but since you don't see these come up for sale often in .308 I just bit the bullet. Be sure to double check the safety on it. Mine was worn to the point that the safety wouldn't latch fully so I replaced it with a Timney setup. Highly recommend the Timney. Make sure the magazine isn't trying to split around the corners of mag. Mine did that and they are expensive!!! Luckily I had a .243 laying around.
Good advice on the safety. In my opinion, if they are all like mine, the safety is a real weak link on these rifles. It was dangerous when they were new as it is much too easy to brush off and when they get a little wear on them...they are even easier. Check it, be safe and enjoy it.
