I'm one of those lucky guys who bought one back in 1991 and still have it. I think I paid around $335 for it then. Its like new and I had put maybe 50-70 rounds through it with the Unertal scope on it. Got my 16yr old daughter into shooting with it and she fell in love with the gun. I found out what they're going for and nearly choked! I tried steering her towards a "gun of her own" like a 40X, but no sale. With that, I shrugged my shoulders and figured that I'd never sell it anyhow, so what's the difference. I'll just let her continue to enjoy it as someday she will inherit all the guns. Some things are more important than money.😀 The BDL Varmit guns are beautiful nice quality rifles.
