Good Gun Deals This Week

I was in a Cabelas and a couple employees sitting in the gun library talking about some drillings they got in. Merkel's in 5.7 something or other. But then guy said he thought they were .30 calibers. Maybe a 22 Hornet.

I tried asking questions and got nowhere except frustrated.

Idiots....

And they could not show me because they were still going over the numbers......

Gave me pause that my heirs might sell any of my guns to such idiots....

I would have that double checked.
Hmmm…an identical one that previously sold at Hallowell & Co weighed 10 lb 3 oz. Best to double check weight but I suspect the person from Cabelas who typed that weight is in error. I have personally found that sometimes they can be lacking in technical knowledge but of course check and weigh before buying.
 
IMO not a great buy at that price.

I wouldn't pay anything more than the going rate for a shooter Pre64 .375. It’s a molested Pre64 that someone tried to clone into a Super Grade. I’m curious to know if that’s an original super grade stock or one of the reproductions that are out there.

Was just going to say that is a shooter with a collector price tag.

Exactly, it’s priced to bridge the gap price wise between an original super grade (even a late post war gun), and a shooter Pre64 375 rifle. IMO to try and get the attention of someone who doesn’t know better. I’m sure they’ll say you gain value with the SG Bottom Metal and Stock (if original) but you really don’t because you loose value but it not being in its original configuration. I’d take an 70-80% Super Grade all day over someone’s cobbled together 95 or 98% condition clone.

Just like you don’t pay the same for a 69 GTO Judge as you would for a Lemans that’s been turned into GTO Judge Clone.

Not sure about this Guns International listing. I see another listing at $12K which is a recent listing for the same gun. I believe th GI seller country pursuits is reputable but buyer beware

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
