Well, out of it all I ended up with a CVA plainsman .50 which, upon closer inspection, is actually new and unfired. I don't know much about CVAs but I did have their Hawken once, briefly-shot great! I've also coveted my buddy's Mountain Rifle he's had since new. We'll see.

What did catch my eye was the Savage take-down .30-.30 & there were three. The one I was most interested in, of course, sold for $1100 to the owner of our local gunshop.

I also learned that a Miroku double barrel commands a fairly high price vs a Stevens -what a beauty that was!
