That would go well with one of Jack O'Connor's 270s

Sold I'll take that rifle.............oh crap, I thought it was $55.00, not $55,000.00 Now how am I going to pay for it

 

[Win94]

.............I can see it being worth a bit due to it being Elmer Kieth's but its not like its his only gun or one of maybe a dozen. The guy probably had hundreds of guns!!!

Now if it was Elmer Fudd's shotgun.....

 

[madtrapper143]

It must of been one of Elmer's light rifles. Elmer always was a big rifle advocate and I don't think a .458 would be big enough to suit his needs.

You'd have to store them in separate rooms, or the arguing would keep you up.
Elmer, as i understand it, was never a wealthy man. He loved his guns, and he had quite a few, but he never had the dough that OConnor did. Gun writing is not (or at least was not) a high paying job.

That rifle is not worth $55,000.

Buying the name...

Nice looking rifle, but still wouldn't pay $55,000.00 for it! Maybe one of his doubles however!!

If I were to spend that kind of money on a rifle, I'd get Martini and Hagen to make me a family heir loom, not buy somebody's used rifle.

You could build a pretty nice rifle for alot less than $55,000US and still have some cash left over to take a horseback hunt in the Yukon.

Money well spent!!

I agree 100%

 

[crazy_davey]

Although I would never spend anywhere close to that on a rifle, I sure would love to own that particular rifle
