Default RE: Gun Show Advice?

For a rifle like that, I'd keep an eye out in newspaper classifieds. This is where you will find sellers who have tried selling their rifle to a gunshop and will be willing to sell it to you for $200 when the gunshop would only give them $110 for a perfectly good rifle. Gunshops value used rifles by giving you the price that is 3 grades down. If you bring one in that's in a 98% condition, they'll offer to buy it at 'fair condition' price.

Go to gunshows if you are looking for overpriced hunting rifles that the owner 'improved' by poorly refinishing the stocks with tru-oil, or if you are looking to buy beef jerky, or if you are looking to buy home made jewelry, or if you are looking to buy neo-nazi books and t-shirts, or if you are looking to buy the latest incarnation of Ginsu knives, or if you are looking to buy cheap poorly made holsters, or if you are looking to buy.... well you get the point.
