The universe provides…
SpaBoy showed up a few minutes before closing and asked if I wanted to buy a rifle. He’s had some money problems since he got divorced and lost his spa dealership. Iasked if the rifle had a acope on it, figuring Id keep the scope if it was any good. He goes back to his car and comes back with a Savage 110 in .300 Win Mag with a Leupold VariX-II 3×9 on it. Okay, not THE scope I want but at least it’ll get me out to the range over the winter while I save my pennies for the scope I really want. Told Him I’d take the gun off his hands.
Dealer on that scope new is $275.
Bought the scope and the gun for $250.
Now i just gotta dump the .300 Win Mag and recoup my money.
And pick up rings tomorrow and maybe, maybe, maybe get to shoot the CZ this weekend after all.
If the rifle is in good condition, I might negotiate with you. I’m wanting a game rifle to thunderstick a bambi with anyway, so why not, ya know?
