Yard sales etc

Well I did it again. Wife went to the grocery store in Powell On Saturday. Saw a listing on the board for guns for sale and brought me the number(good wife, huh?). Called the guy and lo and behold he had a Pre 64 Win 70 in 30-06 for sale Had a 6 power Leupold on it. I ended up buying it for 550 bucks. Stock is a little rough as it was cut 1/2 inch and the steel plate put back on...badly but I'm gonna put a pad on it and maybe clean up the stock a bit to make it a little more presentable. Bore is great...blue is about 75-80%. Well used gun but for the price a good buy. Gonna try shooting it soon to see how it does Probably sell the steel checkered butt plate on ebay and probably the scope too. I should be able to have this ol thing looking and shooting good for under 400 bucks. The guy also had a really nice Winchester Low wall takedown model that had been relined fron 25 rimfire to 22 rim. Had a really nice Winchester A-5 scope on it. Gun is in at least 90% blue and stock finish. Negotiating price. Hope we can work something out. Anybody need a really nice Remington 513T DCM rifle? Going to sell to buy this Winchester...maybe

Papers here will NOT take a firearms ad...unless you are a dealer....sale card in a gro store, they'd have a cow!!!!You gotta look and ask for guns and related. $550 w/Leupold...bout $150 less that a Denver shop.
Skeet, ya don't find that stuff here. Only Win last year were the 12's I found!Had to ask for them!!!

Guns etc

Dan the only thing I can say is that this IS Wyoming. Guns are a way of life. Most people have 'em and they expect 'em to be around. Too many liberal Calipornians in Colorado now. They come in and make all those changes. Easterners too. I know eventually it'll probably happen here...but hopefully I'll be croaked by then. Only fly in the ointment right now is this Osama Obama thingie. I am really afraid he will win. I am of the opinion he will be the worst thing to happen to the American way of life and the American people in the history of the US. At the same time I am hoping I am wrong. I am certain that after i clean it up a bit I can get 700 for just the gun. These people around here like those ol 70's
