Never ceases to amaze me what people will bring in.

The Alabama Gulf Coast is lush semi-tropical green restricting most shots to less than 35 yards unless cleared by man.

Imagine my surprise when a fellow brings in a Remington 700 in 7mm STW. The really odd thing is the 26 inch barrel is ONE AND A QUARTER INCHES IN DIAMETER. It has a monster scope on it and is waaaaaaaaaay too long range for around here.

If he don't come back for it, expect to see it on GB.

    I've had the pleasure of handloading for and shooting a friend's 7mmSTW (Savage hvy bbl)
    Man that's a varmint gun!
    That you could use on elk.
    I'd like to see what that monster you've got in your shop will print at 500 yards.

    He didn't sell it, he pawned it. He has a total of 60 days to redeem it or it becomes mine. For obvious reasons the dollar amount involved must remain confidential.

    yeah, but hypothetically, what would a person be offered as a pawn value in an area near but not too near(but also not too far) a shop roughly similar in properity run by an owner of equal but not identical persona to a certain poster on this board fo that particular piece?????
