At a garage sale sometimes, they were half that. I had and unfortunately let them all 3 go at different times. That was a mistake. I assumed there wouls be a never ending supply but I was wrong. The best shooting rifle i ever owned was a Jap Arisaka chambered in .257 Roberts on a nice chunk of walnut and topped with a Redfield 3x9. I might have looked like someone had put a saddle on a sow but a box of 119 grain softpoints was 3 or 4 years of shooting. One cold bore test shot and 3 or 4 deer for the freezer. Oh, and I should have bought a 10/22 Mag when they were easy to come by too. Buddy of mine was big into running Coyotes with dogs and the 10/22 Mag was his gun of choice. the wheels of the gods turn very slowly

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Fox back as well. A gun that cost the consumer $35 in 1930 will cost many multiple thousands for a reproduction today. That outstrips inflation by a long ways.
