Well you never know what your going to find when you look in the used gun rack. I was a local Gander Mountain and was in process of looking over the various used rifles when came across a "Used" 700 Classic in 257 Roberts.
A couple of years ago I became familiar with the Classic line from Remington and have wanted one for some time. I ended up buying a 300 Savage Classic last year. But there were two of the older models I wanted...257 Robert and 6.5 x 55. And there it was. The guy behind the counter said it was an older gentleman that was loosing his site and couldn't hold onto his collection. Brought in 31 rifles and sold them all. Makes me want to cry, poor guy!
Did I mention if I put the two down and had someone mix them up I'd have a very hard time figuring out which one was a year old and which one was 22 years old. This thing has never had a scope and wasn't fired, heck it even came with the original box.
What a find. Once in a lifetime find. Thanks for reading...just had to say something.
