Amazing Gun Buying Experience #1
This Sako A2 Forrester in .243 that I bought from TradeEx
Tony at TradeEx listed it as very good-to-excellent
and when it arrived, I was amazed .. it was like BNIB !!
and when I sighted it in at the range .. 5 bullets in same ragged hole at 100 yds.
Amazing Gun Buying Experience #2
I have always wanted a full-stocked rifle in a European (read WWI-II) vintage calibre, preferably in 7mm Mauser (7x57mm)
A few weeks ago, a CGN'er listed this Ruger RSI International in 7x57mm on EE - Lipsey's Special Edition, 1 of 250 made (in 2011)
It was in SS/walnut (which I have a weakness for), almost mint .. and without hesitation I bought it
Amazing Gun Buying Experience #3
This semi-custom Remington M700 in 7mm-08 was advertised 3 days ago on EE .. by the same CGN'er I sold it to last year.
And, as I have posted on this forum a couple of time, I always regretted selling it (incredibly accurate rifle!) .. so I bought it back !!!!
It has a barrel made by Prairie Gunworks (the same outfit that makes custom barrels for US Army/Marines sniper rifles)
and a Hogue stock.
