Used firearms in general but, especially hunting rifles?

They had a 7-08 at Cabelas in Wichita the other day that I would have bought but had to catch a plane and didn't have the time. They are solid little rifles for sure.I just grabbed a hot deal the other day, I was checking the Gun Library at my local Cabelas when I came across a New/used Zastava in 7-08 for 399.99, not a bad deal but then I saw a 10% discount on all used guns,Hmm thats 360.00 so WTF I took a ride. Zastava's are decent working mans guns but need a little Love to make them work good. so I look at the rifle, I almost got a sliver in my hand because the stock was so rough and the trigger was impossible right out of the box but the barrel and action are really nice so I ask the sales guy for a Geezer discount and he offers me the gun for 299.99, how can you pass on a Rifle in a nice caliber for 300.00.
I now have the rifle pulled apart and adjusted the trigger down to about 4#, took that nasty finish off and I'm in the process of bedding the stock. I already have a scope and rings just waiting for bases and this Cheapo will be range ready.

My wife and I have a good relationship that includes accounts in which the funds are hers, mine, & ours. As long as whatever I buy is paid for with funds from my account there is never a problem.
It's a good thing that you and Bullthrower aren't neighbors!Auctions are the worst
And guns can be a bit like in-laws
Never knew I needed a Browning 10 gauge pump until one came home with me from an auction..... real problem was it brought several friends with, drank all my beer (well Hopps #9 anyway), then moved in and took over that third bedroom (aka the big new safe) and seem to be staying permanently
I think I could handle that without much troubleIt's a good thing that you and Bullthrower aren't neighbors!
I am almost there on the hoarder charge! The bad thing is I have more rifles than I will ever use and I have way too much ammo. I didn't need any 416 or 458 ammo but when one of our AH members posted that he had some ....well I bought it! I have come very close twice to buying guns from fellow AH members and they don't know how close. And those would have been impulse.
Auctions are the worst
That's not a problem, I'd just call it a good startGlad I could help!!
Especially when a local gun shop liquidates his entire inventory because he decides to retire. 9 guns, 4600 rounds of ammo and 10 Silver Stag knives later.....
Plus the Model 70 in 416 Rem I bought on here.
I think I might have a probelm.....
Amen Bob!!That's not a problem, I'd just call it a good start
