Had a great trade with wildman45.
He is definitely a good guy, honest about the deal, and a pleasure to conduct business with.
Trade with confidence, 'cause he's good folk.

Sold a scope to Morris...Good guy and does what he says.

Sold to Morris and he paid with paypal just like he said he would. Thanks, Big Steve

I'm going to let you folks decide on your own on doing business with this fellow.

He advertised this R700 as "NEW, never fired, never even had a shell in it. He told me the rifle looked just like it did in the box but he couldn't locate the box as he'd had the rifle in his "safe". He sent pics, but the pics sent were over all pics and didn't show any of these issues.

I will list them and post pics

Rust on the bolt handle and knob (surface rust)

Some odd wear / marks on the bolt face with light rust flaking throughout.

Dings/gouges on bottom of stock....not on the butt where you might get a "safe ding" but up where the rifle would be balanced on a "rest"... in this case maybe a rough 2x4

Wear on the rear of the receiver behind the sear where the bolt normally slides...only seen this wear after a hundred or so rounds have been fired in any rifle I've bought new and then used for a few seasons..

Rear action screw has obviously been screwed in and out multiple times as the finish is removed in a spiral fashion.

Rust on the bolt was so evident that you can see where it rubbed off on the packaging.

The bore also had a very light coat of rust, first few patches came out red...

The area on top of the receiver had some light scratches around the mount screw holes and the screws were all set at different depths... When I mentioned that issue he admitted that he'd put a scope on it. Which differs from "bought it new at Mark's, took it home and put it in the safe"

Rust and a scrape on the very end of the striker (this photo is a little fuzzy but still easy to see)

In addition to these issues, Jeff was easy to contact BEFORE I sent the money order. After that, it wasn't so easy, always had an excuse. Shipped the gun several days after he said he did, when I asked for a tracking number he said "my power is out, I'll have to get it later"....

I broke two of my own "cardinal rules" during this transaction.

I usually will not buy a rifle without having it in my hands first for the obvious reasons above.... and I sent money to a PO Box...



I believe anyone can plainly see this is not a new rifle nor is it in "new" condition.

This was a gift for my grandson and unfortunately he knew it was coming so I was pretty much stuck. I've cleaned the rust off of it and oiled it up. Hopefully it shoots well, the kid will never know the difference but his grand dad sure does..

The address and phone he's using is

Jeff Burleson
PO Box 112
Houston, AL 33572

(205)275-6754

I've been told that he also has another user name but I do not know what it is.

This is/was BurlyCamo, and has been banned for shady dealings in the Classifieds forum. Every time he signs back up under a new name and any of you have contact with him, please let a moderator know as soon as you find out it's him and we will continue to ban him. He also used an alias named buckmaster01, which has also been banned.

just found this thread. thanks for the deal on the scope walacer . you are great guy to deal with and seem to be very knowledgeable.

i also do business with marcus 1 with griffin automotive << good guy

I've had fantastic transactions with Skullworks, Rebelman, Bama7x57, Squeaky, n2deer, Bama Ruger (where is he?), COLBIE, and most recently Butchman205. All great, honest guys that I wouldn't hesitate to do business with again. I'm sure there are plenty of others, but I just can't recall at the moment.

Also, I have bought/sold stuff with my local pals (wmd, L. Thompson, foldemup, BrentM, demp17, DaffyDucksworstnightmare) and can vouch for all of them as well. Don't think you would be disappointed in dealing with any of them!

Dealt with Claims Rep - he is a straight up good guy to deal with.

Bought an item from Cuz-Pat. Was exactly as described in his listing. He was easy to work with when my plans to meet to pick up the item fell through.

I bought an item from Out back a few months ago. The item was exactly as described in his post. Good person to deal with and would buy from him again.

I sold my Meopta scope to MolyPoly here on Aldeer and he was a pleasure to work with. He was very prompt on the payment and very good with communication throughout the deal.

I would do business with him again and would recommend anyone else to do the same.

Thanks, Will!

Aldeer 3% check will be in the mail tomorrow.

Bought one of Bham Freds (Troy's) primitive knives. Met me at the time and place as discussed this morning. Smooth transaction. Really like the knife and it was good to meet Troy. Definitely would do business with him again.
