Default Your best deal buying a gun...

We've all heard of hot deals on guns (right place, right time) Without taking advantage of someone
(I gave them what they were asking for them.)Here's a couple of mine...

Win. Model 61 22mag. - well used. $100 I had no idea what it was worth, I was just going to carry it around as a back seat woodchuck beater gun.

Browing Citori field grade - like new - husband passed, wife was scared of guns and told son to selleverything - $300

So lets hear some of you guys' good deals!

I got a pre-accutrigger Savage 93-17 for $99.

There's another one that still hurts though. I was at Wal-Mart one night around midnight, and noticed a Weatherby Vanguard in .270 for $150 on clearance. They wouldn't sell it until 5:00 a.m. the next morning, so I showed up at 4:50 and someone was already there waiting for it. Pisses me off just thinking about it. I shoulda just camped out.

edit: Both of those were brand new.

I once bought an old High Standard Bolt action 16 ga shotgun for $20.00 used. It has turned out to be one of the most accurate slug guns I own. It's fixed improved-cylinder 26" barrelwill keep standard Forster rifled slugs in a 4-5" group. at 70 yards even with the chaep iron sights. It only shoots 2 3/4" slugs but it is a very good back-up gun when I have a freind wanting to hunt an afternoonwith me and he didn't show with his own weapon.

Not me but my brother recently traded a 25 year old H&R single shot topper .410 for a 4 inch Smith and Wesson Model 29-3 nickel. A $75 shot gun for a much sought after pinned and recessed N frame, he still has a smile on his face.

About 5 years ago my old man picked up a Sako Finnbear 300 Win Mag with less than one box of shells through it, a Remington 700ADL Deluxe 7mm Rem Mag fired less than 100 times, A Lee reloading press with dies for 300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, .270, 30-06, 7x57, and 44 Mag, and a clean 7x57 Mauser for $575.

Off of the same guy, I got a Remington 1100 magnum 12 gauge with 2 barrels for $150 and a Remington 1100 magnum 20 gauge with 2 barrels for $100. The one 20 gauge barrel was regularly selling for $300 on e-bay since it has thelarge barrel band that remington no longer makes. Would have got a Winchester 30-30 off of him for $30, but he wound up giving it away to the guy who got me to buy his guns. Kinda sad though, it was a 60 year old guy getting divorced.
