[QUOTE="Critter Picker, post: 1896683, member: 111781"] 700 Remington garment special in .223. Shot that gun for prairie dogs for years. Wore out 4 barrels. I would seat the bullets .030 off the rifling. When I started looking bullets out of the cases on the trip out hunting I would replace the barrel. One day I was at the range for a work day. It was the weekend before deer season and we would have a open weekend to help people sight in their guns. Had a slow time so I dragged out the old 700 and shot a couple of 5 shot groups. The guy I was working with looked at those groups and offered me a lot of money for it. I told him it needed a new barrel because the current one was shot out, but he had to have it and wouldn't take no for an answer. So I let it go. Next day the local gunship owner was giving me a hard time because the guy had been in bitching about the wore out gun I had sold him . I offered to buy it back but he wouldn't sell it to me!
