Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Best money you ever spent on a rifle?

I've posted this in a couple of spots this week already, but its going here because its the best money I have spent er... actually money I didn't spend.
Ruger No. 1 in 450/400 Nitro Express 3" obtained this weekend.




The deal: I'd been looking for either the 9.3x74R or the 450/400 N.E. 3" for a couple of years, and had missed several deals from them either being snatched up or not having the fun money. I found this one the day it was put out for sale, and decided to sell a couple of things to get it.
I went into the shop sold my stuff and bought the rifle and managed to come out exactly 1 penny ahead on the deal!
