As you fellas may remember I recently posted about an experience I had sighting in a family members 788 carbine in 243 and how taken I was by the platform.
Well last night lost to the urge to stay off gunbroker before Tulsa and thus save my gunshow $$$. LO and behold I find EXACTLY what I wanted and at a price that seems somewhat undervalued. A nice clean somewhat rare Remington 788 in 30-30wcf. The holy grail of 30-30's if you will.
There was one bid already on the rifle, I bid with 16hrs remaining, shortly afterward another bid from a third member came in that brought the bidding up to the very end of my max bidding via proxy and to my suprise that's where the bidding stayed till the auction close this morning.
I can't wait to get this puppy in my hands! I already have close to 800 Speer 125g TNT spitzers and a 2x7x33 vari XII leupold just waiting!
