New rifle today
I'm glad I keep a set of antlers I found, on my dashboard of my truck. It has gotten me quite a few good deals on rifles and handguns. Today, A customer asked me if I knew anyone that would like to buy a gun. She said that she saw the antlers on my dash, and figured I hunted and was into guns. She told me she had an old rifle that was her dads, but that she didn't want it and had no use for it. Remington 788 in 22-250. She offered it to me for 100 bucks. I told her it was worth about 600 to 800 with the Leupold scope on it. She then said, how about a trade??? A humidifier for her system, for the rifle. No brainer. The humidifier cost me about 350. Great deal and them antlers have a permanent place on the dashboard. I think this is the fifth time I had offers to buy guns, because of those antlers. They are my good luck charm!!! Oakie

With the cost of living through the roof a good trade is the only way to go

Thanks for the tip. I've got some big antlers I'll bolt to the hood of my Tundra and see if I get some hits.

Heck Oakie, bolt them antlers on the hood of your truck like a hood ornament, that way more people will seem them......😀. Sorry for the double idea posting, didn't see Okie 743's post above.

One of my favorite rifles and calibers. I have 3 of them; a 308, 22-250 and a 222 great guns and you got for what the scope and magazine are worth.
I sold a 6mm Rem I wished I had kept but I was poor and needed money.

Good on you, for telling her $100 was too low. I'm sure as soon as you upped the amount, you gained (earned) her trust. Hence the good trade. 👍

That wood is way too tame for you Oakie, almost like, well, stained "hardwood". You would be really humiliated taking that to the woods. I could save you that embarassment; big country here, no one would notice what I was carrying.

I used to keep a fishing pole in the rifle rack of my truck, but everyone assumed I was a liar.

Back in the middle 1970's........my uncle said he he wanted a 22-250 for southern Oklahoma coyotes, and some frog legs gitten'. 🤯🥴
I found him a NIB Rem 788......including a 4x scope.......for $120. He was plum happy. I later cleaned up a Mossberg 144mb 22lr for him........so he could lighten up on the frog population.
We lost JerryDon in 1993........way too early, due to a cotton stripper accident.
His son has the rifles........and we share the memories. 😔
