You did good
Long as you're happy with what you pay it's a good deal. I went and picked up the 700 Varmint Monday..and today I bought an ol Mossyberg..835 wood stocked gun in the box for 250 bucks. Like I need the sucker. But thought I'd give it to my grandson. He lives in Md and will probably need it for them gooseys. I have also found an old High Standard 22 Semi auto. It's a Field King with 2 bbls. One is about 4 1/2 and the other 6 1/2 inches approx. In pretty good condition. Fellow wants 300 bucks for it. Just what I need....another High Standard. But not having looked it up in the book I know it has be worth a good bit more than $300. I missed a really nice gun..it was a Rem 722 in 257 Roberts. BUT it was a BDL grade with pretty checkered stock.. Kinda rare.
Fabs. I don't keep all the guns I buy. I keep the good ones or the hard to find ones. If I make a bit on what I sell it pays for the other stuff. I've just gone a little wild lately buying some of this stuff. In one of the boxes of stuff I got the other day was an almost complete Auto Ordnance 1911 set up for 38 Super. Even had a new Clark Custom bbl for the 38 Super. If I hadda known..I would have bought all the 38 super ammo and new primed brass at the sale. It went waaayyy cheap. The 700 Varmint is a 6mm and is a gun I will rust blue and have a friend refinish the stock on. I'll recut the pressed in checkering . Then I'll keep it and shoot it.
