Every year, we have a weekend where many people have garage sales, and it is listed in the local papers. This year, there were almost 300 on the same weekend. So the wife and I decided to go and see what was out there.
Since we live in Montana, private party gun sales don't require a back ground check, so you're never quite sure what you will see.
Nothing at the first few, but the third stop had me bringing home a no-dash 2" model 60, with 10 boxes of 38 special for $400. The next stop, I found a beat up old Leupold M8-4X, with rings for 20 bucks, that was very finish challenged and blurry, but being a Leupold man, I knew not to pass it up.
Once I got home, I made a warranty request for the Leupold to be repaired, figuring that it would be replaced.
Well, today, Leupold called me and told me that since they no longer make fixed power scopes, they would offer me a few choices as a replacement. I decided that a new, VX-3HD, 4.5-14x50 with a CDL dial would fit on a 308 that I own.
Turned out to be a pretty good day of junk shopping....
