Sometimes you just step in it.

I Went to get my car inspected and decided to go into a small shop known only for military surplus that was nearby.

As soon as i saw it I knew I just had to take it home.

Posted By: ROMAC Re: Right place right time - 03/25/17
It has the cassic PA setup: Tasco scope with see-through mounts!

He threw in the box of Winchester 200 grain power points that came with it. Only 3 empties!

Took the sting out of the inspection.

...so now when you sell the birdseye 1899A you won't need to get as much right?..

Nice find! Opportunity and preparedness wins the day every time!
Posted By: steve99 Re: Right place right time - 03/25/17
That's a nice catch Roger. Not seen very often.
Posted By: Angus1895 Re: Right place right time - 03/25/17
But the ammo is sooooo expensive? How could you justify this impulsive purchase? Hopefully it is not a post mil.

REALLY! Come on now REALLY! shocked
Posted By: wyo1895 Re: Right place right time - 03/26/17

My ol' pappy would have started the negotiations at $300, and done it with a straight face.

That was a great deal on a highly coveted rifle.

She cleaned up real nice.

Everything is tight as a tick. No cracks, no chips, no gouges. Only blemish is a little freckling on the barrel,

Pre mil 598XXX

Should be fun to hunt with!
Posted By: Fireball2 Re: Right place right time - 03/26/17
Pre mil?
Posted By: Lightfoot Re: Right place right time - 03/26/17
Yah - WTF?!?

Tag said 375 Win I think...

What the hell is it?
Posted By: Fireball2 Re: Right place right time - 03/26/17
It's got a tang safety
Posted By: wyo1895 Re: Right place right time - 03/26/17
I bet it has a "C" before the number.

Or a "D"
Posted By: Angus1895 Re: Right place right time - 03/26/17
I was being sarcastic. Good deal, u should have paid more and helped out that store.
Posted By: ROMAC Re: Right place right time - 03/27/17
"C"

Pre mil was my idea of a joke.

Has the typical "Brush" boat paddle lumber.

Roger,

Didn't you find one of these at the Savage-Fest? smile
Posted By: ROMAC Re: Right place right time - 03/27/17
Yeah, now I have 2.

I like the way the average cost is trending.....

I think I threw in a 358 in that deal too, but I gave it to you for under $400.00 if I remember correctly....

Posted By: ROMAC Re: Right place right time - 03/27/17
Joe,

IIRC I think I left the fest with one less minty G in 250-3000.

LOL!
Posted By: RAS Re: Right place right time - 03/27/17
Wow, 4 bills for a 375 99. Is it a brush or saddle gun?

Very, very good score. That is a total score. Feel good about that one. Deals like that are pretty rare.
Posted By: ROMAC Re: Right place right time - 03/29/17
RAS, it is a brush model. Finger groove forend, no schnabel.
