Feedback from the shop about the condition was very good, no photos but they assured it looked as new down the barrel. If it's anything other than that then I'll have words.
Just done the deed now. £1,175 with bipiod and a new Wildcat Evolution, not too bad compared to the price of a new one I thought.

Enjoy and remember, without a picture and range report it does not count

Right I picked it up today! Condition looks great, especially for the price I paid.
No range shots for a while as the mounts my local RFD gave me to fit my interim scope didn't fit, so I can't shoot it this weekend unfortunately

Looking good, a shooting buddy has the same sound moderator and it works well. Have you decided on a 'scope yet?

Thanks! At the moment I've got the Simmons from my air rifle on, just so I can shoot this weekend. I fully understand this might break the scope...
The guy at the gun shop recommended getting a Hawke Sidewinder 30 6-24 at £350 which I quite like the look of actually. He was advising instead of selling too which I appreciated. Looks like it would do great work for me at 300yds and cover well if I got to shoot out to 600yds at Strensall.
I'm looking at the alternatives though which look to be the likes of the Vortex Viper but I quite like the sound of the Hawke app for dialing in.
