In 1975 I bought a well used 22 lr Win 190 at a pawn shop to keep in my college dorm room closet.
A week later I found a brand new Win 190 at the local drug store for 15% less than I paid for the used one.
But then there was an old Win 670 30-06 that I bought from a guy at work for $200. It was covered in a red dust of oxidation. After a couple hours of hand rubbing a light machine oil into the surface, pretty decent bluing appeared.
That old '06 shot everything from 125 TNT, to 165 bt, to 180 Barnes X or Black Talons, to the 190 Hornady btsp, into tight little groups. It shot as well as any rifle I ever owned, including several which cost four or five times as much.
