Just checking to see what the current values of the rule book is.
I bought a paperback copy when I read this post the first time and have been keeping an eye out since.
A 1982 came up on eBay a day or so ago for around $300. Didn’t really have that much money for a book but took a wild hair made an offer of $250 not expecting much but they accepted. Hopefully a pretty good buy have to wait until I see the condition in person. Sounds like you did great. Hopefully it is in very good condition. But even if it's not perfect, it is worth more than you paid. Good snag!
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I just put my 1982, VERY good on Fleebay and let it go for $250.It's going to Texas,maybe sold too cheap but this is third time listing it and wanted it gone.
I've found what you think a book is worth and getting it is wishful thinking.
I have a quite good The Winchester Book,signed by Madis,I'd like to sell! Offers please!

Just my local gun shop use to have about 10 used guns and now they have over 50. I think a combination of economy and more examples especially guns being available to purchase. Seeing examples of things for sale I haven’t seen in awhile. Hopefully I bought your copy so I know it was well cared for. I could barely justify the price I paid it was right at my maximum so I am very pleased to get a copy.

The book is going to College Station,Tx.,the buyer was a lady according to the info.
It is a very nice example,very,very slight wear on the cover,pages are pristine.
I'm getting old fast and got a pile of this stuff to move out. I have items by Aagaard,O'Connor , Hagel,Waters and quite a few more.

The few exceptions, days of my youth, the category arriving in "Plain Brown Envelopes!"  Different strokes! lol

Sounds like it is coming to me or technically to my wife. To be honest I have never seen one of the hard backs in person. Can’t wait and I am thrilled to finally have one. Thank you.

I’m at the Cody gun show and saw one on a table for $300.00. I bought a Custer Cases and Cartridges book that has been out of print for some time. Books may be the most overlooked items at gun shows… ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/dVwKjkxY/IMG-1795.jpg)

Have you guys noticed that this book seems to be dropping in price, but the Model 70 Winchester book by Dean Whitaker is going up in value? I have both and they both have great info in them. However, as we all know the book by Rule is more concise.
