RE: Your best deal buying a gun...
My Dad bought two guns (a remington 720 30-06 and a remington 1100 12 gauge semi-auto) for $250 bucks for the two of them together.
I got an M1 Garand for an undisclosed amount (since Badger Boy may be watching) but it was definetly a good price. A lot lower than the ones I've seen on gunbroker or anywhere else on the internet.
We bought a Mossburg Maverick 88 with an 8 round tube for $160 bucks at a gun show. Beautiful gun, and one of my favorite out of all of our shotguns.
A friend of ours bought a Sears 12 gauge sawed off for $75 bucks at another gun show. Clean, beautiful, and shoots like a dream.
I got a Mausercustomaction .270 for $120 dollars at another gun show, clean and beautiful. Painted her white with brown sticks running through her for my winter gun.
I'm addicted to gun shows. Can't help it.
