I landed a couple rifles this week in an online auction. Nerve racking to say the least. I looked at the rifles last week at a local NG armory and decided I would try for one of them. It got down to the last minutes of the auction and it looked like the gun I wanted would go out of reasonable reach, so I put a bid on another rifle that didn't seem to be getting the attention it deserved. I was high bidder on the latter at closing and realized the original gun I was wanting was seconds from closing and still in my price range , so I threw a last ditch bid. I ended up winning both with only intentions of going after one gun. I'm very happy it ended up that way now though. I am the proud owner of a Marlin 444 early 70's model and an early 70's model mint, never even had a scope mounted, Rem 742 Woodsman 30-06.
