Note to self: Don't buy a used gun from Seafire
Why not, the gun will be fine, but the barrel may have some high mileage on it tho....
Actually, I am terrible about holding onto a rifle.. I get this family bond with most of them, because I usually end up with one for some reason like I really liked it, or it was unique etc...
I've gotten rid of like 3 or 4 rifles in the last 10 years...
one was given to a handicapped lady friend of the family who was just dying for a 17 HMR.. so she ended up with a new Marlin from me for free...
another was a 1917 Eddystone that I got for a nephew when he graduated high school and he was off to the New Mexico Military Academy on a scholarship... put a new 6mm Rem barrel on that one, and a new Boyd's varmint stock, and a 10 x 40 Tasco Varmint scope on it for him... it was a graduation present, and that was engraved on the barrel...
one was a brand new Ruger 338 Win Mag that Ruger sent me as a replacement for a rifle that they couldn't fix and they didn't have any production runs coming up.. so they just sent me that one, which I immediately traded at the gunshop for a 260 Rem VLS that they couldn't move....
and I traded a 44 Rem Mag in a Marlin that wouldn't shoot worth a crap, for a new 7 x 57 Ruger, that the gun shop got by mistake and couldn't move.....
So I just hoard what I end up with most of the time... if I ever end up letting a rifle go, it usually is given away to a worthy cause for FREE.. ( now watch me get 500 PMs in the next week with the biggest sob stories ya ever heard!)loL...
