I turned into a Marlin man, so I lost track of Winchesters, but there was a day when I held one in my hands and for just $1000, it could have been, should have been, mine.


Brent, I did the same thing. I found a minty Model 71 that was a last year gun in NIB type condition, and at $1000. Since I wasn't into them I foolishly passed on it, and called a friend I thought might appreciate it. He ran right over and bought it, and then turned around and sold it for double the money.
I got that, "why didn't I do that?" thought, and still regret not doing the same thing!
