A 7.7 jap bolt action for 75 dollars mounted my scope for free. In 1977. Killed a dump truck load of white tails..
Newlywed, got a flogging for it, too.
No complaints about freezers full of meat for 10 years or so. It shot very well.

Oh I scored a 116 long action Savage .270 for $125 and it shoots pretty well kid said it had less than a box of shells through it, the bore looks like it

I went to an estate sale I found in one of the off brand news papers in town. I showed up a little early and talking to the old Korean War vet. I asked if he had any guns and walked away with his take home M1 Carbine and 1911 for 500 dollars and a steak dinner talking about my deployment I just got back from. This was back in 2004.

My dad said he got ahold of a 6.5 Jap in the 50s that shot lights out. He killed a bunch of fox and coyote for several winters when hides were at good prices. He had nothing but praise for that rifle.

True. Seems odd to me, but it's true.

Old thread, but needed reviving. Best gun show find was a Savage 340 in 22 Hornet for $80. Pawn shop find was a pre-64 Model 70 converted to 300 Weatherby for $100 and 2 Volunteer Arms Thompson Arms lookalikes for $50 each with mags, one used Thompson mags, the other grease gun mags (former worked better).
