Oh Scotty I found you one!!

Hey everyone we can now rejoice! :lol: I found Scotty a 30-06 that I think even he can appreciate. Finally he can come over from the dark side and become one of the 30-06 owners just like we all should be. :grin:

That would be a sweet one; but since I'm not really a collector, I'd prefer one of the new ones made by FN. Consequently, David, where is your '06?

Right here Mike, it's right here!!

You are forgiven, my son. My memory is getting short. Can't believe someone had a pre-64 with box and all tags squirreled away. Fascinating find.

I know, and it's unfired! I completely understand that it would hurt the value to shoot it, but that is a crying shame that it has never been hunted before. Sad, just sad! They are made to be used.

Did you take notice of the price tag? $139.00, when was the last time you saw a new anything rifle that was priced $139.00?

I did see that. Amazing!

It shows how much the dollar has lost in value since those days. What a dollar buys today, ten cents would have bought in the mid-sixties. That is pretty sobering.

I have the Winchester leather jacket but not the cherry pre-64! Very nice!!!

Wow, that is a beautiful rifle.

That is certainly a 30-06 I would use and love to carry!

Now, who has 3500..... :lol:

I saw that, too.

I have my dad's Model 70 '06. He bought it new in 1956; for $100.

It's seen a lot of action though, not near as pristine as the rifle in the link.

Sweet rifle.
Not a bad investment return either.
139 turns into 3500 in 40 years=8.38%
Maybe I better buy more rifles although I'm not too sure I have 40 years to wait on them. :grin:

Scotty, you should feel special all these guys looking out for your well being. David looking for 30-06, Gene looking for a 325. Wow. :lol: :lol:

That's what I keep saying. Rifles are investments. They dang sure won't lose money and they are fun!

 

[6mm Remington]

Or how about this one Scotty??

I'd be okay with that one too. It's a pretty one.
