That's probably a good thing. Used ones are a very dicey proposition. Rifles in this caliber are extremely easy to ruin. I bet a guy could ruin one in less than one box (of 20) rounds. You really have to pace yourself and never let it heat up. Throat erosion is its only real fault, but it is a very real fault. Too much powder in too small of a bore...
