Was it ever in a smiths for repairs, what was done to it?
Why are they selling it?
How did it shoot for them?
Condition of the barrel?
Condition of the crown of the barrel too?
General appearance of the rifle. Knicks, scratches, cracks if any
Will you have a chance to see how it shoots?
That's all that comes to mind

This is good advice but the questions towards the owner such as "how does it shoot?" The seller would be a fool to tell you it shot poorly. I would leave it to stuff you can visually see or check. I know you may be able to tell if the guy was lying.
I know I may sound like a jerk for not trusting the seller,(ussualy the guys are really good) but some people lie like a sidewalk.
Just my thoughts, I would look online and on forums for info like how does it shoot. Hopefully you can get yourself a good deal!
