A bargain is


"something you don't need, at a price you can't resist",


at least by my own definition.

On the other hand, a good .30/06, even in a 70A, makes an excellent rifle. I shot my first deer with a borrowed .243 in a 70A.

It would make a good rifle for a good kid, though. Do as you wish, but I wouldn't buy it. I'd do like the other guys suggest, thin out your collection and go to Africa or Australia and go shoot furry animals. AND give one to an underprivileged kid who has no mentor. BE a mentor for that kid, take them hunting and get them involved.

THAT would be a good thing.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
