Many 30yr old guns "used" for hunting haven't seen much use cf. to the use on your average 3yr. old car. Pre-owned really does apply here; not just a gimmick to make you feel less down-at-the-heels. For what I've seen available, hard to beat a used Uggie m-30 or Miroku-Daly for lack of miles on the odometer and prices which are frequently 25% of your number.
