Well it wasn't quite a Yard Sale

[skeet]

Went to a moving sale near where I live. Found a nice rifle at the place the price was ok so I bought it. It's a Ruger 77 MK II 22-250 in exc condition..has a 6.5 x20 Leupold on it and I got 200 rounds of factory Winchester ammo and more than 500 new unfired brass that has been loaded. Going to take it all down and re-load the cases. As someone here said..shooting someone elses loads is like swappin underwear. 1/2 is loaded with 50 gr V-Max bullets and I think 4320 powder and the other 1/2 is loaded with 55 gr SP and H335 powder. I even got the rest of the cans of powder. Cases were factory primed. Heck the scope costs more than I paid for the whole rig. Also while in Billings the other day I went into a pawn shop..just slummin around ya know and momma found a nice Ruger 77 MK II that fit her just right. It's a 257 Roberts and SHE bought it. Sheesh..the eastern lady that never wanted to hunt has decided to do a little deer hunting....oh and coyote extermination. We had a pack that came down and killed (and ate) one of her cats. She did get one with the ol Savage 340 I have here. BTW she got that ol 'yote at about 40 yds with one of Rocky's recommended loads with the Plinker bullet. Also the 257 cost her 350 and it is as new

skeet,

Sounds like you did ok at that moving sale. I check out moving sales as well as yard sales for stuff I can use. The old barn here is filling up!

Sounds like a winner to me, heck I found a 223 H&R (with the laminate stock) the other day with a Luepold VarixII 3x9x40 used in great condition for $215. Wish the heck I had had $215 on me at the time. Sent a buddy of mine to get it and he him-hawed around then backed out because he wants a bolt 223 instead. I coulda punched him in the nose, I really coulda. My brother is interested in it now, but keeps making excuses not to head up to the shop and look at it. . . . . .

Man you find a deal, but are short at the end of the month, and can't get two turkeys who both want a 223 to jump on it. . . . . If by some miracle it is still there after the 1st me and my wife are gonna have another argument about buying a gun right now.

Sheesh

That really isn't a bad buy. A VXII 3x9 is worht the asking price. Go Buy it..I'll give ya a hundred and a quarter for the VX II:D:D

Adam..I need a barn here. I keep finding stuff I really don't need but is worth way more than the asking price. Found a John Deere 40 tractor all rebuilt for sale the other day for 1500 bucks. Only thing that didn't get rebuilt was the carb. And it leaks a bit..I just happen to have a New In Box M-S carb for that darn thing.. Comes with a 290 planter in so so shape and a cultivator.. Just what I need... And I know where there is a really nice JD 70 Diesel tractor with electric start(no pony motor) wide front end and 3 point on it for a really really good price. I really don't need to farm anymore..but ya never know. It isn't much higher priced than the 40 JD.

Went to a couple of yard sales this morning.
Bought some 95 grain FMJ 380 bullets, 950 of em for $17.
Put them on the net for 10 cents apiece or trade.
Within 3 hours I had all my money back plus $8 and a box of 500 double copper plated 230 grain Powerbond 45 ACP bullets.

At another sale I bought a cardboard box containing four complete Lee Loaders. Two for 20's and two for 12's. A Lee Load All, complete I think, and a set of the Lee powder dippers for the grand sum of $5.

Oh, the box also had a Remington Nail gun that uses the 22 blank's to shoot nails into concrete, plus a buncha 12 gauge hulls.

Some day's the sun's all shinin on me.
