My best score:
1990 at the skeet range. A very accomplished shooter we all knew and shot with, and who was going through a divorce, walks in and tells us his soon-to-be ex needs to sell her 4 gun set of Rem 1100's. "Price?" Without a flinch, he says, "$800 for all of'em".
"SOLD" came outta my mouth before anyone else.
I asked the (ex) husband why such a low price???? He laughed and said that's what SHE wanted for HER guns and since she was ALWAYS RIGHT, he wasn't gonna argue with her. LOL!
I still laugh when I think about that conversation....
I meet his ex the next day, hand over the $800 and get 4 Remmy skeet 1100's; 12, 20, 28 and 410. The 12 B grade (nice wood) was used a bit, but still in excellent condition, barrel was ported, forcing cones lengthened. The 20 had been shot a whole bunch and needed worn parts and springs replaced. The 28 and 410 were all but NIB-two boxes of shells through each.
Still have'm-they're ready for 'lil Sako when old enough.
