I happen to live less than a mile away from a venue that holds gun shows several times a year. I don't go to every show but the weather has been so crappy here in GA. the past week I needed to get out !!! So off to the show I went, had some cash in hand but was mainly going to pick up additional ammo only
. This venue generally has two buildings with vendors and today was no different. I casually walked the isles with HUNDREDS of other folks the place was quite full. There is no secret I am a sucker for older guns preferably with wood grips/stocks. I am just old school and like the feel of steel and wood grips. Anyway as I'm walking around looking at the various ammo vendors I came across a round rack with various shotguns and rifles on it. And then I spotted it
, a Remington Sportsman 74 semi auto rifle in 30-06 with a 3 x 9 Bushnell scope. I picked it up ( big mistake ) and looked her over. Very solid to the touch with only two small scratches on the stock near the shoulder pad. Blueing in very nice shape and the scope has no scratches on it. Firing chamber doesn't look like it has fired a lot of rounds. In my opinion the gun is a 9 out of 10. After a little bit of haggling I walked out with her for $318.00 which was $300.00 for the gun and $18.00 for state tax. I think I did well. I will post pics but I'm heading back to pick up some more ammo
