Went to the valley city Nd gun show today. Never been to this one but have heard some good reports on past shows. Wasn’t looking for anything in particular but I do like varmint special 700s and senderos. I saw 3 varmint specials in 25-06, one in 6mm and 2 in 22-250 and 2 in 223 and a 222 Prices ranged from $750 to $1200 Also saw 2 bdl 700s in .17 Remington $850-$1000 and a couple senderos. I haven’t seen that many at one show probably ever. I was pleasantly surprised with the selection at this show. There was the usual junk but overall a decent show.

That was a lot of rarer calibers for Varmint Specials.
I don't go to Gun shows much anymore. I always noticed a "theme" so to say for every show. Say for instance I would attend one show and see a lot of Browning 22 autos for sale and the next show seemed to have a lot of pre 64 model 70s, then another show it would be an unusual amount of Sako rifles or Ruger No. 1s Etc.

I love to go to gun shows, but we can't have any in Travis County Texas (Austin). We are also crime free because of it.

I don't think PoBoy is serious. Just saying that when the politicians outlawed gunshows that it did not stop crime at all.

The gun shows around here have about 10,000 black rifles, 5,000 little black semi pistols, and 100 or so long guns with walnut stocks. Not worth going to.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Really looking forward to both the Baltimore Antique Arms Show in March and the Syracuse Show at the New York State Fairgrounds in April. Total enjoyment on both Saturdays, they never disappoint.

The one in Gonzales Tx is fading more and more. Waste of money. 10/15 minutes and you've seen everything there is to see. I usually go anyway to buy t shirts. Don't see them continuing with them much longer.
