About 30 years ago I was at a gun store looking at rifles. I was wanting a designated coyote rifle. They had nothing for me.
I went outside to leave when a elderly lady asked me if I could help her. I said sure. She had a few long guns in her truck she wanted to sell and needed help carrying them in. I said what you got? There was a Winchester O/U, a Ruger tang safety 220 Swift with a12x leupold scope on it and a single shot shotgun.
I asked her how much for the Ruger. She said it was brand new and never fired. Her husband had bought it to go PD hunting out west but never did. She said he had bought it 20-30 years ago then. I bought it for $400
According to the serial number it was made in 1973.
She is in excellent condition but has killed many animals of all shapes and sizes.
I shoot Hornady SPSX 50 grain powered by 4064 in it for tiny groups.
