I'd always wanted a 25-35 and stupidly passed on a Winchester in 95%+ condition a few years ago. It was sitting at a gunshop where the owner turned his inventory fast and nothing was overpriced. Still can't understand why I hesitated.
I recently found one in similar condition to ColeYounger's. My FFL buddy and I have done so many trades I really don't know what I've paid for it and never will know. Should be a fun little rifle.
You're a fortunate man.
