Auction preview
The auction for my guns closes tomorrow but I just took a look at were they are now and I am overall reasonably pleased, knowing that tomorrow should result in some last minute bids.
As expected the SXS shotguns are leading the parade with the Fox and the Parker within $500 of each other.
The highest ROI clearly go to the "lesser" of the collection, a Marlin 336, 35 Rem is at $550, I paid $69 for that in 1972----and killed a lot of deer with it!
The other star is my Savage 342, 22 hornet at $325 which I bought used in 1959 for $16----the groundhogs that sent to their final den are uncountable 
Just to be an obnoxious show off, I used to shoot 5 shot groups with the Hornet into a bottle cap at 100 yards---just because I could
