A BSA-sporterized P-14 including a Timney trigger. All I did was refinish the stock and put a better shim under the rear Weaver base. $150.00. Shoots about 1.25" @ 100m with Remington 180gr RN over RL15. It's now at Ellwood Epps being rechambered to .303 Epps.

So where is this deal ... I'm waiting...

Find deals I can't pass up way too often.
Since this is a 303 sporter thread, I was in a gun shop that had just been taken over by a new owner. I had never been there before so asked about milsurps. He went down in the basement and brought up two Enfield sporters and told me he wanted to get rid of them, considered them junk.
One was your typical cut down sporter although it had a Lyman peep on it. The other is a nice commercial sporter, not drilled, with a Lyman peep. Told me he'd take $100, taxes in for the pair. Didn't really want sporters but couldn't pass it up. Traded the ugly one and the other is an amazing shooter.

How about a brand new rifle that normally sells for 1899.99, and I paid less than most ask for this rifle used...
Thats what I call a deal... Or my BL22 that my buddy told me he'd take 50 bucks for it, and I couldnt do it to him... gave him 100.00 for it...
I dont think I've ever seen a used one go for under 300.00
Thats just two deals in the last two months I couldnt pass up...
I can keep going

 

[stanway]

Too many to list...

My BRNO ZG-47, the Talley rings I put on it were almost as much as the rifle.

I'm slowly learning how to "just say no" but it's a long and lengthy process, plus the pocket book isn't letting me say "yes" lately.

 

[DarrylDB]

Mine wasnt for a long time either, and its recently been cured


No more pocketbook blues

 

[huntinstuff]

The latest was my mannlicher stocked CZ in 6.5X55, hinged floor plate with "shutgun" lever release, ebony forend tip, right handed Timney safety with Doule set triggers for less than - well, let's just say it was a "good deal"!
