Fell Into It Again Yesterday.......

Another really good deal that I didn't realize at first. Yesterday a guy I've known for a few years offered me a Savage Model 24 in .22/20ga for a hundred bucks. It had some surface rust, but was a solid working piece.
Only later did I discover it wasn't .22LR, but .22Mag! I looked on the auction side to see what they are going for and couldn't find any, only the .22LR/20ga at around $300.
I'm up early just to see what happens today! [:D]

    Just like Al Bundy, you best take good care, with all your good luck lately, the law is not on your side. The law of averages that is.[:D]

    Actually $500 doesn't seem far from reasonable. When I was in high school they were a popular gun. We routinely bought, sold and traded them for about $20. My average pay was about $20 a week and a lot of people were supporting families on $40/$50 a week, so if you compare average pay back then to average pay now, $500 would be about right. I've seen them at various places on the internet for over $600.

    Now you guys have made me want one. Do they still make them?
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    ...Neat rifles, good find and price!

    ...Probably 25 years ago a friend and I were on our way to our deer lease and stopped in Marble Falls (I think) at a Gibsons (early "box" store) to pick up something. He saw an over and under...think it was a Savage...forget the shotgun gauge but the rifle barrel is 30-30! If I remember correctly he paid like $60 something bucks for it, didn't need it but was a perfect jeep gun because of all the Quail on our lease...he still has it, great gun...[^]

    First gun I ever walked into a gun store and bought and paid for by myself. I was all of 12 years old! Paid $100 on a 22 over a 20 gauge. Even at $100 I had to put it on lay-a-way. Still have it. Still use it every squirrel season. Wouldn't sell it for $1000.
