Best and Worst Purchases - Page 3

I too have a model 50, mines in .270. It is far and away the finest rifle I own. Not bad for a department store mutt.

I traded a Colt King Cobra straight across for it. This was years ago, in fact I had only owned the King Cobra for a year or o, and I bought it new.

I have since refinished the stock, and replaced the scope with a Bushnell 3 X 9 Elite.
This one will stay with me.

Best purchase was ??????
Worst was a Ford Fiesta tin can.

Just thought of it. Best purchase was 3 8lb jugs of Universal Clays for $.40 on the dollar from a guy getting out of reloading.
Gun wise is a High Standard mod103 for $200 with original box and papers.

Unless you know what caliber it was, I'm afraid you're pulling this fine thread off-topic.

whitney wolverine 22. it would have been better to toss the gun at the target than to shoot at it with one.

Best is my FNS-40
Worst is my savage 30-06 only because it came with a pencil barrel which gets to hot. Should've researched more and got a HB.
