Gramps passed away a little over a year ago, now Gramma wants to sell his rifles for some much needed cash. I can take them to Bass Pro Shops and have them appraised for free but I thought I might run them past the experienced minds at THR first. I was thinking I might be better off offering them for FTF sale. If I can get an idea of what to ask I'll post a thread in the for sale section.
Any help is appreciated.
First is a Thompson Center .50 cal muzzle loader purchased for elk hunting in the 80s, used once and I doubt it's been fired 10 times. No other marking besides the SN, Thompson | Center, Rochester, New Hampshire and .50Cal
EDIT: The ramrod is also in like new condition and is included. I took it out to see if the gun was loaded (it's not) and forgot to put it back in before I snapped the pic.
Next we have an Austria Voere NATO Cougar 30.06. Purchased in the early 70s for hunting this rifle has taken quite a few elk, and has a few dings in the stock to show for it. The bore looks great and the rifle is 100% functional. I can find very little info about this gun on the intertubes and the guys at the gun shop have never heard of it. The scope is a Weaver K4 C3 in Weaver mounts.
Last we have an oldie, a Savage model 1899 lever in .303 Savage. This was Gramma's hunting rifle back in Montana and has taken a lot of game. The bluing is gone, the stock is dinged up and there is a dent in the receiver. This rifle was last fired about 30 years ago and appears to be 100% functional. There is some .303 ammo around somewhere to go with if I can find it.
