Walk Down Memory 2 Track - Too Old for Lane

[Muddyboots]

So I have been clearing out basement shelving and even file drawers. Came across some really fun old books and magazines so I thought I share a few pics. I will post up one or two each day for a while. Much better topic than crummy news today.

Ahhh yes the good ole days. 70$ for a rifle, I wish!!

Straight pull bolt action. Gee where have I heard this before as a recent innovation? How about a 1911 for $35?

Man wish I had a few of those Marlin 35 rem with the additional $10 off lol

 

[Muddyboots]

Brings such a smile when you see these ads and realize what costs are today. Only if we knew of "hoarding" back then!

ah yeah the good ole days I remember my first bolt action a remington 700 from JC penny 125.00 still have it today just dont look the same

I paid $149 for my Savage 110C .270 Win in 1968, still have it! New barrel and my go to rifle just to have fun.

I thought for a second there someone was about to tell lies about me!

Now, I do have one of those 336s from the 70s in 35 Remington.

My 35rem was about 7 times that in the mid 90s but what a great design and round! I load 200gn Hornady FTX on top of Leverevolution. With the Weaver K4 scope and see thru rings, it is an excellent short range or all around brush gun.

I use to hunt the Adirondack Mountains and the .35 Rem was PERFECT for those fast short range shots at bucks and black bears.

 

[Muddyboots]

Can you even imagine a gun manufacturer doing this now?

 

[wv270wsm]

I've got my great grandfathers Remington model 4 22 with an octagon barrel . Story goes that a local feed store years ago after you bought so many tons of feed would give you one of these as a rat gun.

Love these old magazine pics. I like looking through old Hot Rod magazines also.

Are there bonus points guessing the year of the add.

 

[Muddyboots]

Maybe this will help guess the year? This is model year. What I wouldn't give to have the convertible!
