Actually the Carcano (with scope) was only $19.95.
I kept the American Rifleman magazine from February 1963.
The Klein's ad is on page 65, from which Oswald ordered the
rifle. Without scope it was only $12.88.
108 rounds of 6.5 Italian military ammo and a clip was an
additional $7.50.
I bought one for a deer hunting rifle for my wife (without scope).
It was very fast and very accurate. No question in my mind
that Oswald could do with that rifle, what he was supposed to do.
