I've been spending my free time enjoying motorsports and just haven't shot much or kept up with the market. A week ago I found out my 1K yard range is closing and I'm thinking it might make sense to free up some space in my safe to fund the motorsports hobby. So, what's a reasonable asking...
Factory 700 barrel shooting off the shelf 180 grain Remington Corelokt PSP. He was quite a fanatic about cleaning, but still used the same routine he was taught as a kid. And honestly, its not even a high round count. In my life that rifle has probably been shot 400-500 times max. $55...
