hate to admit this but it all worked out in the end. lost a stainless remington 700 off the back of my flatbed. put it in case and laid it on back and just drove off like a fool. that was back when i was fresh married and had a boy on the way and gun purchases were extremely thought out and planned and budgeted for months and just made me sick.
the next year my equipment repair business was going and blowing and i was going thru a big lot of repo'd semi tractors from the west coast. i was contracted to a large auction company to do make ready work for a sale and i was told to empty everything out of the trucks.. under the sleeper matress in one was a remington 700 6mm with a old weatherby scope wrapped in a shipping blanket.
its a fine shooter too this day and that weatherby scope is pretty dang clear for 1970's glass
