I was bidding on a 95 right before Hurricane Isabel took out the power for ten days. I lost that auction. I had bid up to $950.00, maybe $980.00. The sales price was $1,200.00.
Hurrican Isabel did bring me some good fortune, I lost the auction, but found one in the Mid-Virginia Trading Post for $650.00.

Also need to check Gun List and Shotgun News. Sometimes find them cheaper there than online. Got mine 2 years ago for $575. After finding the right bullet and powder, an AO white stripe front sight and Marble's tang it will do 2" at two hundred off a bench.

Is that in 30-'06 or 30 Gov't? Buddy of mine had his rebarreled from Gov't to '06. Just used reasonable loads and it shot VERY well.

C1PNR that's an '06, Arsenal brass(carefully sized to the chamber), 168 Hornady AMax, with 46gr 4064 and CCI LR primer. Hornady lists the AMax as both a target and medium game bullet. I seem to have a "fast" barrel and this load chronys 2630-2650fps @ 15ft.
