My best deal was a Smith Corona 03-A3 in near excellent condition for 75 dollars at a turners outdoors in southern california back in 1991. now these darn rifles will cost you atleast 500 dollars and thats for one that looks like it sat at the bottom of the ocean for 50 years ofcourse im exaggerating but to find one in near excellent condition like mine you will spend atleast 1200 bucks. Ive been offered 2200 dollars sofar for mine.
