Saw in the local paper this week that a garage sale just
down the road was supposed to have some 22 rifles and
some shotguns for sale. Wife and i had no plans for Friday
morning so we decided we would check it out shortly after
it was scheduled to open at 9 AM.
Got there at 9:15 and while wifey perused the linens and
trinkets i walked directly inside the attached garage as I
could see he had a table full of long guns.
One rifle caught my eye as it was in exceptional condition.
As i said my hello's to the owner and his wife i picked up
a pristine Remington model 6 pump in 30-06 caliber.
Asked him what he wanted for the Remington Pump and
his reply was, "give me just a minute and i'll see".
He proceeded to attempt to pull up (Gunbroker) on his I-Phone
and i thought to myself, This will not be good !!
After several minutes of trying to get it to load and being
asked by other folks the prices of various items, he said he
wasn't having much luck looking it up. Make me an offer!!!
I did, and ended up writing a check for 350 bucks.
That's what i offered and what it was worth to me as a Deer
rifle. I honestly had no idea of current value as i had never
seen one before.
Looked it up when i got home....
Manufactured for only 6 years 1981 thru 1987
and available in 6mm, .243, .270, .308, and 30-06
This one has beautiful wood, all original, finish is what i would
call 98% or better. Just a couple small dings in the wood
butt stock.
Here's a couple pix i pulled off the web as i haven't had time to
take any of mine as of yet.
Cool little feature is the headstamp of the cartridge on under
side of rifle just forward of magazine well. Yes, it's factory !!
Anyone else have any experience with these rifles?
Detachable 4 rd. magazine
I stopped at Gander Mtn. and bought 80 rds.
of some Winchester soft point 150 grain shells
they had on sale.
