I just got back from a gun show, and at this show I saw a near mint Remington 700 in 222rem for 425. Is this a good deal? It's jus nawing at the back of me head that I shoulda grabbed when I saw it.
Thanks

ADL or BDL? standard barrel or varmint? what condition?
That price for me ( a 222 fan ) is ok if it is a BDL varmint barrel but not a deal unless there was a Leupold ontop of it

it was in very good condition. It was an older rifle, adl or bdl I dont recall off hand. It was a very nice looking rifle. It also did have a Leupold on top. No pitting or rust, good throat. Just an all round good looking rig.
Thanks

If it was with a scope and a BDL varmint barrel I would go back for it in the morning!

The thought has crossed my mind, and if I could figure out how to get it and keep it a secret from the wife I'd be all set. Maybe I'll just have to do some fast talking. Wish me luck.

Fortunately I have a plan for that.
I use the money from my expense reports. It seems to go unnoticed.

Good idea. That would work if it wasn't for the fact that we are in the process of having a house built and she is watching the money like a hawk. I don't even get to hold my paycheck for longer than 5minutes...lol.

I'd trade the wife for the gun, problem solved.
Got your gun, turn the sewing room into reloading/gun room and you get to keep YOUR paycheck!!!!!!!!

LMFAO...Good idea but I dun think it would work. Once they found out she can't cook they would probably return her.

If the rifle is old enough to have that god awful impressed checkering they tried for a while, its not a good deal. You can kinda forget the scope unless it is indeed a leuy. If you're selling a good horse, you needn't put a saddle on him to make him sell. The big question is, is the rifle worth it to you without the scope? Think of the scope as "curb appeal".
