M-95 7mm Chilian Mauser

[Freightman]

Went to Gander Mtn to get my hunting license and they had three, all with good bores and very good wood and metal finish, two were Lowes and the other something I didn't reconise but still in Berlin. $299. To bad I am so broke would have loved to have had the one that had the cleaning rod.

They're well made rifles. Germany made fine rifles, that usually have good machining and shoot good. I prefer the 98 large ring style rifles. They're are stronger than the small ring rifles. $299 may be alittle high. I really don't know what these usually sale for.

I have had a friend haul a shortened 95 around the last 3 gun shows @ $175 with no takers.

Good Lord! We used to sell '93's and '95's, '91 Argies, all as issued for $50-65.00. A "Bubba'd" Mauser would go far less than that and a '94 Winchester, '17 Enfield or ratty '03-A3 wouldn't break $125.00 on a good day!

How times have changed.

I was at Gander Mtn. this weekend in Charleston, WV. Everything they had was way overpriced, it probably had something to do with their overhead. They had like 25 kids running around with their little GM coats on. Not really knowing anything about sporting goods.

Gander Mtn. IS way overpriced !!!!!

..............Come on Bret, you're still living in the early-mid -'90's :bigsmyl2:

I think I paid $89 for my M1895 Chilean. But that was then :-)

I'm talking the late '70's!

Well, since the price of bread, gasoline, and a Ford Sedan are quite a bit higher for 2010 than in the late -70's, it's sorta like keeping your head in the sand, to think that the same inflation wouldn't apply to firearms.

Heck, the inflated firearms prices over the last 10 years enabled me to pay off enough debt, so I can enjoy early retirement. [smilie=w:

I'd have bought a Lowes with a cleaning rod for $299 without blinking.

Hey, it's my little alternate universe, okay?[smilie=b: It's just one of those things that strikes you.

Now that you mention it, not everything has gone up. My neighbor is still getting about what he did in 1976 for milk. Don't know how they do it.
