When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

I own three Remington 600's...Unfortunately not one of the .223's.
They supposedly only made 315 in that caliber and the rifles were produced from 1964-1967.
Great rifles.

wow... The bidding will surely start again if the owner relists. The last i saw went for over 5k at that was two or three years ago. At a gunshow a few years ago a dealer had one in a glass case and wanted over 6k for it. But few people walk around at gunshows with that kind of money.

While I understand why there are people interested in collecting rare and antiqued firearms, I'm not one of them. Firearms are for shooting, so you'll never catch me spending $8.00, much less $8,000.00 on a firearm that's gonna sit in the safe, or a glass box ... no sir, not me ... Make mine a custom build, for whatever it's intended targets are, and let me get to trippin' the trigger! ............. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

315! That is mass production! I have rifles that are one of 1 of 50 and 1 of 40 and several others 1 of under 250. You could not get a grand for any of them in a looney bin.
Scarcity does not account for this madness. What phase is the moon in?

The place where the guy is from is a little town near Merced CA. There aren't even 500 people living there (at least last time I was there 2002ish).

I've got a Belgium made Browning Medallion Grade in 222 Remington.They only made 25 of that model,in that caliber.It is fully engraved on the action and floorplate and has beautiful wood,and I paid about 20% of what that Remington 600 got up to.And I only got it about 6 months ago.
Now what do you think is worth more-a fully engraved,Belgium made Browning that they only made 25 of,or a Remington 600 with plastic parts thats they made 315 of?
I think I'll try to sell my Medallion grade for $8000.

Buddy of mine has an Enfield No4 MK1T one of 60 manufactured by Holland and Holland in wwII. Correct 5 groove barrel, crate, Scope Tin, Scope, Mount, and paperwork with all #'s as they should be.
How much you thinkk that un would bring?

I did though use that money and bought 3 more Brownings. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> WB.

Gee,would have thought there were enuff "trust fund" kids out there to have snapped up that 'bargan'. Personally, I would pay $8000 for say, half interest in the company.
