My dad came for a visit this weekend and brought with him a pile of guns. These belonged to my uncle. He is moving into a smaller home, hasn't hunted in 20 years or more and no longer has any need or want to have them around. I am to sell them off and keep a few for my trouble.
There are two "deer" rifles. A post 64' Winchester M70 in .270 with a Weaver K4 on it. This is a beautiful rifle, it is not the XTR but classicly stocked, no black spacers etc....just a very nicely figured walnut stock. The other rifle is a Remington 700 ADL, early model with square safety in .308. It has an older Leupold 4x on it with tapered reticle, they start out heavy on the outside and as the crosshairs merge they get smaller and lighter. Both rifles are in nothing short of excellent condition. I doubt he fired more than 50 rounds through either one since bought new.
There were three .22 rifles, an excellent condition Remington nylon 66, a very nice old Remington 34 Tube fed and a Revelation single shot with a severely busted stock.
There were four shotguns. A Remington 1100, 26" vent rib barrel, 2 3/4 modified- excellent, like new practically. A Remington 870, old, 1950's vintage, corncob front end with a Poly choke. Very good condition, 12 gauge. A Winchester Defender 1300 with a pistol grip and the real prize an Ithaca IDE 20 gauge double from the 1920's. A BEAUTIFUL shotgun in excellent condition.
The last gun was an H&R 922, .22 revolver. There was also a couple of cases of dove loads, several boxes of rifle ammo etc......My uncle indicated he wanted about $1500 for it all and I could keep whatever else I got. I figure to keep the Remington 700, the 1100 and the Ithaca and will make up any difference.
The M70 is worth probably $450 or so. The 870 $150, the three .22's about $300, the Defender $175 and the 22 Revolver maybe $100. That leaves me about $300 short for the three guns I want to keep and all the ammo. Seems like a pretty good deal though for no more work than I will have to do. Have a gunshow next month and I figure I can move most of the stuff then without a problem.
