look what I found!
First, the story. After reaching out to both Rick aka "Rick in Oregon" and Doug aka "TheCZKid" to help keep an eye out for one of Ricks BR Pivot's, both posted locally and were doing their due diligence to help locate one for me. Then about a month ago I thought I would search CL, just for the heck of it. One came up out of Sacramento, CA. After reading the ad and realizing this was the real deal, I called and left a message and sent an email. The next morning, I received and call from the seller. I told him I wanted it and that I would make the drive down the next day, to pick it up! I told him I was out of Dallas, OR (1200 miles round trip). He then said, he has a friend on vacation visiting him from Coos Bay, OR and that he could bring it home with him when he goes home at the end of the month, making it a much shorter drive. We did the deal, and I mailed him out a check (with fingers and toes crossed) and hope the seller was on the up and up. Yesterday the wife and I made the drive to go get it. This morning, I opened it up to have a look. Unreal......, this is a brand-new BR Pivot Deluxe, complete with Red Ox caring case and tags! The bottom of the feet don't even have scratches on them. This was never set up. Not sure when was the last year of production (2007?), but this bench was sitting in storage for the past 20 years. Theres a back story to this and why it was sold. The seller's brother had died some time ago and a lot of his shooting stuff was untouched for a very long time.
Thank you, brother, you will be thought of though-out my varminting years, this is a God send, and the bench will be used!
