I need someone's help who has good search foo. I ran across a Remington model 760 Gamemaster pump action rifle chambered in 223 today. I believe asking price was $900, but I could be over on that.
 Ordinarily, I wouldn't in any way be interested in one of these pumps, but thought this one was neat, because of the caliber, and I never new Remington made this rifle in 223. Is it rare ? Think you would find it interesting enough to jump on if you could talk down a few $$$ ?

Cabelas has one listed for $999.99.  Couple auction sites had them sell for 1000-1100 for the 223 model.

Thanks for the info. I was wrong on price, the guy wants $950. It has a VERY ugly mark on the left side of receiver. Bad enough I would have to deduct at least $450 . Oh well, it's neat anyway.
