Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Used rack

It's nice to have buddies that own, or run the LGS. But it can get expensive!!!!

Things have been pretty dull in the used/consignment stuff at the lgs lately here.

I stopped at my LGS last week to check if they could order one of the new ultimate J frames. While I was waiting I walked past the used rack and spotted a clean 10/22 with a decent scope for 20 year ago pricing. It wasn’t what I was there for but sometimes you have to jump on deals and with all these kids a guy can’t have too many 22s!

Check out the M1A Scouts, much less muzzle blast.

I don't even pay attention to anything new on the shelves, all I look for is the used stuff. There are still a few good deals here and there, but it has been slow the last few months.

I was in the gun store (outside of Scheels) today in Sioux Falls. I walked speedily past the rifle/shotgun racks. Seems the market is on cheap plastic junk or at least cheap what I consider junk.
There’s a good shop in Rapid City that I often go to when I’m in Rapid. Their racks are junk too, unless you ask to see the basement. Nice stuff down there. I envy the guys that find a treasure in a pawn shop. I’ve not been so lucky.

Yeah, he evidently bought a whole collection of Oregon Kimbers a few years back. Had 20 to 25 about two years ago, maybe half that last year. Had some real oddballs i.e. .25-20, .17 K-Hornet, etc.

I found a M70 WinLight in 270Win yesterday. I'll clean it up, mount a scope and assuming it shoots well it'll go to my cousin's kid when he graduates high-school this spring.

I had a 700 ADL in 30.06 - it was the most uncomfortable rifle I have ever shot. It was much worse than my Model 70 in .338 or 375 H&H Mauser.

Haven't been there in about 100yrs. Do they still have basically all the Double barrels in Dixie?

For sure. I probably have pictures of them. They were nice.

Love that place in Wagram

Never heard of the place in Wagram.

What is the name and address please?

I’d like to visit there one weekend.

I think M1A SOCOM is a neat little rifle. It does produce a neat little fire ball, as the sun goes down. With the ammo can 7.62x51 ammunition, muzzle rise seems very minimal. I think it is pretty handy to carry with the 10 round magazines.

The used racks can be hit or miss. Though, I have found enough "deals" in the past few months to eliminate my discretionary funds. AR types, the used & abused, and the newer predominantly plastic types, are usually the majority in the racks. Sometimes I find a jewel of interest, to me anyways.

Spent about 2 hours turning tags at Mid-South today. They had more than ever, absolutely mind-blowing, but I left with my wallet intact. Talking with Phil (owner), he said he has 300+ guns in the back that he just bought that he doesn't have room to show and is going to Wilmington and then Baltimore to look at more collections...

I keep finding things lately even though theres not much on the used racks. The other day it was a pre 64 in pretty good shape in 270. Time before it was a nice rem 582 and a ruger American 22 lr with a walnut stock. And trip before that it was a new seeking element 28 nosler on clearance along with a proof elevation 20" 308. That was an expensive day.

Between orders and finds I've spent too much lately. I've had to sell several other rifles I wasn't using much to make room in my safes. I think I'm going to sell another one of my new vanguard 223s and my 700 sps 260 and then take a break and just do some loading and shooting. It seems like these cold winter months find me buying and trading around too much.

I concur this one and the first one have the most violent recoil of anything I have shot. The young man that sighted it in for the old guy with 180s said he has nightmares from it 😂😂 I just laughed and said I understand.

The yearly trips to Kittery Trading Post when I was a kid were so magical. The first tin of something other than Crosman pellets - RWS Super Points bought with paper route money and conserved all year long, used only for real "hunting". First centerfire rifle bought with my own part-time, high school job money - a Ruger semi-auto .44 that jammed on every other shot. The gun racks seemed miles long. Anyone remember the old sign on the roof of the building that had a big target graphic in it which someone had shot an arrow from the parking lot? It was there for years in the 80's. Haven't been there in many years, time for a road trip!

I agree. I stay away until I'm ready to spend money.

Sounds like a vacation spot.
