Almost anything you bought right 30 years ago would seem like a bargain today. Point made earlier that many here could not afford the real bargains back then and some still can not.
Personal best buys of the last few years.
A pair of Ithaca NID 12 ga. shooters for 700.00.
A Fox Pin gun with a miller trigger and ejectors for 800.00.
A Grade Fox 16 and 20 for less than 5k.
Browning Super, pre war, two trigger solid rib 750.00. Had to replace fore end wood but found a perfect one in less than a year of looking.
Baker Double that was marked Montgomery Wards for 100.00. Had a broken stock and no metal finish. Cleaned up nicely and had a stock that fit with very little work.
LC Smith field grade, almost perfect condition for 750.00.
Any Lefever that I have bought in the last ten years. They are such a wide assortment of features that each gun is almost one of a kind.
Any "shooter" that you can buy and use is a great value. I invest in just about anything other than guns. I know some have made a killing in buying early, or buying rare guns or even in finding the next fad gun to buy. I like American guns that were made before WWII or better yet before WWI. You can enjoy the rest and I promise not to run up the price on you.
