To put this nicer, it can take days/weeks/months to find a gun you're after in the EE here. Just sort of depends who's looking at your ad, and when. No everybody is on this site 9x a day like I am. :) You're allowed to "bump" your wanted ad once a week, that puts it to the top again...maybe fresh eyes see it. Be patient. Those guns (as they were) are no longer made, and I've been told by Gravel Agency (company that imports them into Canada) that they're being redesigned. They weren't expensive new, built robust...maybe the guys who own them (mostly) want to keep them..?

On a side note...the "WTB" ads used to be mixed in with the "WTS" ads...and that was a FAR better system if you ask me. Like a few odd decisions here on CGN, that seems counter intuitive. Seems most people list things for sale without ever even checking the "Wanted" forum first. The end result is the same (sellers sell) but for those looking for things...your chances of finding them with a WTB ad got reduced significantly.
 
They are no longer made and those that have them keep em,and those that sold them regret it.
My Sporter is an awesome lil pack rifle.
Be patient, and keep looking.

^^^^THIS^^^^^ worst decision ever to separate the WTS/WTB portion. I fully believe that no more than 5% of the people that saw WTB ads on a daily basis are LOOKING for them. Most of the time I have ever sold a gun on here, I saw the WTB ad right away because it was listed in the same place. Now only people ACTIVELY looking to sell their wares are using the WTB portion. The guys who have guns, and would probably move them if they saw a WTB ad, but not "actively" selling them, never look there. So a big portion of "potential" sellers never get to see who's looking. They should look at merging the two together again..............

Th e youth is very short. I tried it but it seemed I was really crunched up.
The only shortfall is the forend is bendy and flexes with the bi pod. An after market wood stock would fix it but increase the weight.
