Not in a gun shop, but at a gun smith. He had received a Kimber of Oregon 22h and the shipper wanted it rebarreled cause it wouldn’t shoot accurately. It was a custom classic with fantastic wood and it looked new. The gunsmith knowing that I had some 22 hornet rifles said “ take this to the range and shoot it, to see if it’s accurate”. I did and it was very accurate, about .75” at 100 yards. Brought it back and asked the gunsmith to call the owner and see what he would sell it for. Seller said $700. I bought it on the spot.
