Even a blind hog........... - 03/18/24
Finds a deal once in a while.
My Son called last week, and asked if I was interested in buying some rifles from his work buddy. My safe is a bit crowded with several under used specimens already, so I said "probably not".
Then he started talking a bit more.
1 A 700 BDL in 7RM w/ a Nikon 3-9x40 in Redfield windage adjustable mounts....serial A6768XXX. Should be 1975?
The jeweling is not even worn off the bolt.
2 A Remington 722 in 257 w/ a Weaver 3-9x40 in Weaver pull over rings.
3 A 96 Mauser in 6.5x55 in a synthetic stock with a 1979 era Redfield 3-9 widefield accutrac. (stadia wires and trajectory compensation) Plus ammo, brass, and dies for the 6.5x55. I had the same Redfield on a Wea mk V in 22-250 about forty five years ago. I bought this one just for nostalgia.
$1000 even for the whole package.
I have grandkids still needing a deer rifle. The latter two will fit the bill well. And hell, I can easily consider them free to me.
The guy also had a LH Rem 788 in 6mm with a Leopold 3-9x40 for another $300. My son bought it for his LH 12 year old boy.
Back to the loading bench I go. I hope they all like H4831. I found a deal last fall and bought six pounds.
