Default RE: Best deal you ever got on a gun?

I once purchased a Model 70 Super Grade in .375 H&H made in 1949 from a Captain at Ft. Wainwright Alaska for $125.00. It had a Lyman Alaskan scope in a Jaeger side mount and a Lyman No. 48 receiver sight on it. Seems this guy traded a M 12 Win. shotgun for the rifle at a road house in Canada as he was driving up the Alcan Highway, got to AK with the rifle, fired it two or three times, and decided he liked his .243 a lot better!! I later traded this rifle for a Grade IV BAR. BIG MISTAKE!! Live & learn!!

Keep yore powder dry!!
