I finally found a gun I have been looking for ... for a lot of years. I found it on gunbroker.com, and started bidding. I was in the lead @ 675.00, then someone else ( who had no rating ) began to bid against me. I got back in the lead @ 810.00, and decided to stop there. The other person bid 815.00 and I thought I had lost it[:@]... Then later I found out that my wife was the other bidder..... She was bidding against me, because she said she wanted to buy it for me since I had been looking for one soooo long. I know she loves me, and I appreciate the thought, but I would have rather had it @ 675.00 and just let her pay for it.... But I love her for it anyway.

My " white whale " ?

A Browning A-Bolt II Micro Medallion in .308. In near mint condition.

looking for alot of years? can't you just go buy that exact model new? did they stop making it or something? What am I missing?

They stopped making the Micro Medallion back in about 1993.

The micro hunter is still available, but the Micro Medallion is not, and it has been difficult to find one.

I wish my wife would bid on guns for me[&o]

Lucky you - Now if itcame witha pair of sandals I'm sure my wife would bid on it.

Good deal and a great wife! Congrats. Glad you finally found what you were seeking.

I doubt it will be a common occurrance, though I still appreciate it even if this is the only time.
