Slow weekend at the gunshow in Corpus Chriti, Tx. All I picked up on Saturday was a beater Savage .22 bolt action, single shot rifle for 25 bucks. Couldn't give anything away, much less sell it.
Sunday was better. Guy came in with the Ruger after lunch at 5 bills. It had a nice Leupold 3X9X50 mounted on it. Also had a Harris bipod & leather sling on it. Owner said he had over 5 in it cause of the scope. He had to give up his hunting lease and no use for it now.
Told the guy I could only do half that even though I really wanted to get the scope for another riflle I have. He msde another pass around the show at 4 bills. He came back with no offers. Said he would go down to 350. I offered 3, taje it or leave it. He took it.
The rig is still in like new condition. Will probably take the scope off for a Remmy 700 BDL and put a Simmons 3X9X40 on the Ruger for field use. Prbably wull shoot it on my range Thursday if the rain clears up. Already have some 139gr. Hornadyballistic tip ammo handloaded for another rifle that will work.
