Was doing some culling and trading the past couple of weeks. First time I hit so many guns shops in so few days. Looking for a soft shooting slug gun. Looking for something...........
I seen older Topper 048 H&R's (the real H&R's with the case coloring on the frame and the longer barrel and full length stocks. adult size long guns) going for $175-$225! And damn if I wasn't thinking hard about a nice .410 with a 28" Mod barrel and nice wood.
Was offered $275 for my Topper Deluxe! Didn't part with it. Told them to call me when they had a 28 gauge to go with the 16 gauge 058 I picked up. I use to have a H&R and Stevens in 10,12,20,28, and 410. Then again I use to be married as well.
Ultra Slugs in 12 gauge is all I could find. $350 for the palet wood and $450 for a nice stock. Was told a 20 gauge wold fetch $500! They use to go for $250. I saw 12 gauges for $175 just three years ago.
Still looking for a Tracker and Tracker 2 in 20 gauge. Was told they made them in 16 as well. I think that is true for the smooth bore but doubt they made a 16 gauge with a rifled barrel. But that would be cool! I picked up three boxes of 16 gauge slugs I found, just in case. And made sure they are no where near my 12 slugs!
I thought only the handguns were high!
