Pawn Shop Rifle

[ME Woodsman]

Here's the deal I found a Mossberg .30-06 Model 100 ATR Bolt action with a tasco 3x9 scope for $389.99. Is this a good deal? or should i try and talk the owner down? below are links for the rifle and scope. as far as the gun goes it seems to be in pretty good shape. barrel is a little dirty but nothing that cant be cleaned.

Check out the SAVAGE line of rifles for a good price on a new gun. The trigger cannot be beat, the accuracy is superb and the cost is very fair. My Savage shoots better that my Winchester, Sig Sauer or Remington all of which are in 30.06 caliber.

I would definitely pass... Nothing wrong with that gun... the scope is a joke and the price is too high for what you are getting... You can pay slightly more than that and get a good Savage, Marlin, Steven's, or even a TC Venture if you look for it (One used/unfired in 300 win mag at a friends shop for $435.) I recommend you keep looking... there are much better deals to be had out there... Hell, in the same shop my friend has a Win. Model 70 in 7mm mag for roughly 350 with a Simmons Aetec on it.

I think that is about what that gun goes for new. I'd go to the shop with 200 cash on the counter and see if he'll bite. Otherwise I would keep looking.

The Stevens 200 is on sale at academy right now for 179.00. It's a better rifle IMO and you'll have money left over for a decent scope.

For 389.00 you can do better. The Savage 200 is a perfect example. Put a new Redfield scope on one of those & you'll be better off.

I'd talk them down to $250 and see if they will bite that rifle minus scope sells for $249 at WalMart...or it did when I bought mine. They are pretty accurate for a bargin rifle though. I put a Centerpoint 4-16x40mm scope on it with Weaver steel rings.

Mossberg ATR....nope!

Save your cash and get something like a Stevens 200, Marlin X series or Savage Edge.

You'll be much happier in the long run.

You can do better. I just sold a Mossberg 810 with a nikon 3x9 for 300. So you can do alot better

There are better deal around there. I would second looking at Savage. They are a really good bargain rifle brand, that while they don't have all the fancy refinements in the stocks and so on, will give you excellent accuracy and action.

Still doesn't compare to the pawn store selling their "brand new" Mosin Nagant 91/30 with expert Bushnell brand scout scope that was mounted with one of those rear sight mounts on there for the bargain price of $585.
