As of late, I have been browsing the various gun sites looking for a few items, namely a winchester pre-64 model 70 in 300 win mag and a remington 1100 with a 24 or 26" barrel and remchokes (also if it was 3" chambered would have been a huge plus).
after losing many auctions and missing out on many online deals, the stars must have been in alignment for me tonight.
Recently I located a nice model 70 on gunbroker and it even came with a minty redfield 3-9x40 scope starting bid was $350. I placed a bid on it and totally foregot about it, since most model 70's were going well over 500 recently. I also found a used, but well taken care of 1100 with a hastings 24" barrel (takes rem chokes) and was a magnum receiver that took 3" shells and the gun even came with a side mount scope mount that has a detachable top portion so i can leave the base on the side,but remove the scope/red dot when not needed. starting bid was $300. I bid a little more competitively on this one since I really wanted it, but again my budget was limited and was not expecting to win it.
long story short,
I just logged on to gun broker and looks like i was the only bidder on both guns and won them at their starting bids
. now I need to explain to the wife why i need to borrow a few hundred from the savings to cover the unexpected win of both guns ( had enough for 1 and then a little extra). Guess I will put up with the yelling and looks like i will need to raid the "surplus" area of my gun bench to see what I got sitting around that I can part with to put cash back into the savings asap to quiet down the wife.
