What, no one else winning the lottery??? Just got back from the coast, picked up my $549.95 Tikka T3 that I bought 2 weeks ago. Background check finally completed!!!! The rifle is exceptionally clean, but I had to add a stainless recoil lug, freefloat the barrel, adjust the trigger down to 2 1/4 pounds and clean the heck out of it. Rifle should should shoot lights out. Yesterday was a fairly good day. Hit a few gunshops at the coast. Scored on a like new, in the box, Zeiss conquest 4.5-14x44 for $499.00. Today I found 120 pcs of
new 300WBY brass for $40.00 and 66 pcs of brand new 7mm08 brass for $20.00. The funny thing about the Zeiss Conquest, is the guy/gunshop owner had it for a long time, but he couldn't sell it for the price he originally had on it ($700.00), so he told me he was losing money selling it to me for $499.00. I had been researching them on ebay for the last 3 weeks. Thinking about upgrading the scope on either of my 2 new to me rifles. One wearing a Bushnell elite 3200 3-9x40 and the other wears a Silver Leupold vari-x IIc 3-9X40:
Been watching those on ebay and 2 of them sold today: 1 for $599 and the other for $476.00. That means when I go to sell mine (silver Leupold), I'll have roughly $200.00 into the beautiful stainless classic featherweight 30-06 in walnut stock that I just bought last Tuesday... Oh, and my buddy and I saw a 2009 EW 308 win in a shop that we know we were checking out in 2009, but the shop still has it. Priced down to $899.00, since they have not been able to sell it for 12 years!! I think my buddy is going to buy it though.. Seems like a heck of a good deal on an American made BACO model 70 EW...
