Before anyone starts relax only thing I actually bought was $50 scope( yes it was new)... Mainly just like looking around these places for off and near stuff.

And todays find was a bolt action internal mag 16ga

Then there was this deal . Found it a lil odd someone had put mason twine on it for line but remember seeing similar deals around some older peoples places . Used end to just drop baits in deep holes and did stuff like this because they where kinda broke and need to pull up whatever bit... Think I still have some of my granddads old ones in the shed. Apparently he'd be out for a few days at a time fishing on the river to stock the freezer and he had a few similar set ups. Heavy mono though instead of this. For the $19 they wanted I honestly was thinking about getting it just tho hand on the wall...but I just did groceries and I got a budget to stick too lol.

Probably ment to be a rimfire scope idk..needed another floater for some stuff figured it will work....or at least be fun to see how long it takes to break it. Funny enough out of the..... Idk how many at this point sub $100-150 scopes I bought in the last few years with the intent of trying to break them though just regular guy type use... I've managed to break mabye 3 ? An think two of those where because they had target turret .....that went good at all..Which is wild because a $50 scope 10years ago and one today are two different birds. ....but I'm just a lil ole no killing , junk buying ,YouTube expert what do I know laugh

That Penn 309 for $19 is a steal. If you do t want it and get back by there buy it and I’ll gladly give you the money back plus some extras.

If that scope holds a zero and you aren't trying to shoot outside it's capabilities it's well worth $50, reviews look good on crimson trace scopes so I'd say you did well for sure.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Always neat stuff at pawn shops, the torch is either a plumber or jewelry worker the bends help you to hang them to free up your hands, but you will never hold a candle to your brother buying the crossbow.

The J C Higgins brand was name after John Higgins (he didn't have a middle name), an employee who began working for Sears 1898 and retired in 1950 as head bookkeeper. Nothing sells sporting goods as well as a well-renowned bookkeeper.

Not gonna lie y'all.... For the whole $200 they wanted .... The allure of a odd ball round in an odd ball gun....


But I've actually been seeing 16ga at Walmart every time I've gone lately so ....no much of an odd ball I guess Lol !

They also had a 20 gauge mage fed bolt gun..but egh was $300 and just didn't feel the same..did t have the same interest in it...

But I'm not a shotgun person soooo meh mabye when I FINALLY get into shot shell loading lol

JC Higgins was the Sears and Roebuck brand name. I think the bolt action shotguns were manufactured by High Standard.

I'd left the scope there and brought home the shotgun if it were me.

I was thinking the same thing. Even if you don't buy anything it's just fun to browse.


Got a gift from my brother. It was 3 AA batteries with a note that said, Gift Not Included.

You wouldn't have to tell. lol 16ga is great. There is ammo available from the lightest loads to buckshot and slugs.
