We went out garge saleing today...
We went to a small sale of the main highway, and as I looked at a few of the hunting things sitting around the guy sitting there said...hey I got a .270 I'm looking to get rid of.
If you want to perk up my intrests that's how you do it.
I asked him what it was...he said, I don't know some gun my dad gave me that he took in on trade awhile back. Now, he really had my intrest.
He pulled out a Howa 1500 Hunter in .270 that looks like it might never have been fired. He said I'll take $250 for it. At this point I'm trying not to stutter or twitch. I said well, let me talk to the Mrs. and get back to you. We went down the road aways, and I explained what the gun is, and that they sell for about $400 used. Her response was, ok, but see if you can talk him down some. Long story short, I tried to talk him down and it was a no go...but he threw in a box shells. Good enough!
I have to clean it up as it's a little dusty, but it came with a nice sling, scope mounts, and a somewhat crappy tasco scope and box of Rem core-loc shells all for $250...
The gun gods, and the wife have been kind to me latley.
Added: All cleaned up, she has been shot, but I bet it hasn't been more than a single box of shells. In the last pic, you can see the kinda see a smear of the RIG grease I use.
The tasco scope was in pretty bad shape, so I stuck a cheap bushnell on it for now. This baby is going to need a little better glass I think. Wouldn't make any sense to put a piece of crap scope on a nice rifle would it?
