I remember checking out a Browning SS in 9mm at Penny Wize Drug in Caldwell circa 1978. Probably $400 maybe $500. Sure wish I had bought it and stuffed it under the bed all these years.
I did buy a Weatherby Mk V deluxe MIJ 26 inch 22-250 there a few months later for the princely sum of $325. I sure wish I still had that little Varmint Master also.
Ya, it was a bad day when they gave up the ghost. I bought a lot of guns from them when Gary Adams ran the gun dept. I still have the Ruger 77 .284 Win that Gary sold me in 1970. Those were truly the good ol' days.
