For sale a Benelli R1 .30-06 Springfield rifle

[highlander57]

For sale a Benelli R1 .30-06 Springfield rifle with four rounds spare magazine, with already installed open sights and with or without the Leupold VX1 3-9x40 scope.
$900 without the scope, $1050 with the scope.
Buyer covers FFL transfer.

A bit of history:
This rifle never had a chance to be in a field, only on a shooting range for four-five times for a barrel brake. I went through a lot of ammo brands and found that it shoots best with the Hornady factory ammo which I have a lot in their original packing if anybody is interested.
It has been always taken care of and was in excellent (like new) condition until the point where I got into argument with someone and ended up in a police precinct. At that point, my firearms got confiscated until the things were being sorted out. They kept it in their storage for almost two months and managed to put a nick on its beautiful walnut stock (see the photo). The scope has always been kept separate and it’s in excellent condition with no signs of use.
I’m selling the rifle because:
1) I have an upper back and shoulder problem and don’t feel comfortable shooting it anymore.
2) I am tired of being obligated to pay for a permit to own firearms in NYC.

Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have or visit to see it in person if you live close to NYC.
