Yup, this is one of my grail guns as well...that and a Remington Model 8 or 81 in .35 Rem w/ rear peep.

Got a few I’ve missed out on the past for lack of cash:
Ruger no 1 RSI 7 X 57. Pawn shop wouldn’t take my Remington 742 in 30/06 as partial trade. It was only $300 at that time. Remington 700 with KS stock in 7mm REM Mag It was $400. Just the wrong caliber for me. Had it been a 30/06… German 98 Guild rifle, take down with ribbed barrel great iron sights in 7 X 57. It was $400 and you could buy a NIB Winchester or Remington bolt gun for that at the time. The stock needed refurbished and ammo was scare. Should’ve had my butt kicked. Pre 64 Winchester 94 for $250 about 5 years ago. Stupid on my part. I sold a Win 94 Trapper while trying to get my disability. Wish I had it and a Win 70 Westerner in 30/06 back. Too heavy. A S & W model 17 with 6” barrel that someone left in sheepskin rug. Ruined the finish and it was $100. I thought it was too high. I should have bought, had it shot peened or even sent back to S & W. Also there was a Colt Anaconda 4” barrel that I was gonna trade a Ruger Blackhawk.357/9mm Convertable with a 6” barrel for it and he wanted $50 boot money. I thought it should have been even trade. I was stupid. A new Ruger Vaquero in 45 LC 4 5/8” barrel. Guy bought it , walked out door and dropped on the curb. Had a concrete rash and since he was a great customer; they swapped it out. Had $189.99 on the tag and OTD was $175 no tax. To broke to buy it and no layaway. Then the N S &W with 5” barrel in 44 mag. Rough but only $150. My poverty hurt me again. I’d like to have all these and more.

I found one in a 7mm rem mag a few years ago, mint condition and hardly fired. Its very accurate.

I am lusting after an Rem 700 270 TI. Will probably build something similar.

What load works well in that Creedmoor. I bought one several months ago and need to start working with it

A Ruger 77RS carbine in 358 WIN would be nice to have, but good grief they are high on GB

Rigby highland stalker 275

Kimber Montana 260 Rem

I have a few guns others seek but to sell would would be an instant loss as the value of the dollar is dropping like a $2 whore. Much rather hold on to the guns right now as their value is still on the rise.
Could be traded out of them if something struck my fancy.

Just got a 95% 341-B Remington.
Ivory front bead , peep rear.
$300.00 plus $50 shipping and $40.00 transfer fee.
First Year rifle [1934].

I think I did ok.

You stole that Kimber. I remember not snatching that one up as well...

Not sure about his, but in my Montana, 40.5 grains of H4350, Alpha cases, CCI200's and a 147 ELD loaded at 2.8" works real decent for me. About 2680 or so. RL17, 26, etc, are all good too. Damn near anything seems to shoot in the couple I have had.

Mine would be a Ruger 77 in .250 Savage. Had a chance at a great price 10 years ago and a buddy talked me out of buying it.

Got one in a ultra lite 2 yrs or so ago that's very good to excellent condition. Don't think it would be considered a great price, but I got it.

My friend has one that I first held/shot in 1999 or 2000. I instantly fell in love — the best handling/balancing pistol I had/have ever felt!

There is one for sale locally, new in box and unfired. It's supposedly a 1988 version and he wants $1500. I don't know what your "unicorn" is worth to you. However, locating one's unicorn is better than most do. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with the guy or if you wish for me to act on your behalf. I do not know the guy.

Not really wanting anything exciting. But id say..

708 Mountain Ascent

243 Montana w/threaded barrel

Maybe another Classic Select in 308 with real nice wood again. But instead of selling it this time id rebore to 358.

Is he still your buddy?!!

I would love to find a Mauser Es360 Championship rifle!
