Some Times Good Fortune Smiles Down Apon You
Have been looking for another Anschutz 1416, sporter rifle for a very long time. Ones in really nice shape are extremely hard to find, even in right hand, but the RH ones do show up occaissionally. The guys that have these beautifully made, light and great handling walnut and blue sporting rifles very rarely sell one. They are most often passed down as hierloom pieces. Finding one in left hand in great shape is virtually impossible, in the last 15 years I have seen exactly one for sale, and it sold in minutes after being listed.
So yesterday I found a 1416 in excellent shape, listed by a guy with +200 trader ratings, and bought it immediately at full ask, which seemed pretty reasonable to me. EMTed him the money and find out today that the one I bought is actually left handed. I want a right handed one for my nephew but holly hana, I am just ecstatic about having a second left handed one. A righty will show up eventualy. .
