Try some 'dumpster-diving' Doodle!!
The used gun racks actually hold all kinds of gems. My best rifle is a used Ruger #1 that I got for a 500 beans. I dived into the bargain bin and came up with a set of used Lee reloading dies for 15 bucks and I'll be darned if that gun wasn't the best I ever had! Some of the gun geeks around here helped me do some load development and I grabbed a mint scope from Bobby B. for a song and a dance. It would shoot .75" groups all day long too.
Alot of these turkeys are full blown gun junkies. They love to experiment with loads and new guns: they will buy a good gun, trick it out and get it shooting like a house on fire - and then get bored with it and sell it off so they can buy another one to play with. Their loss is our gain!
If you see what appears to be a smelly, plaid clad grizzily bear rooting around in your garbage can - don't shoot! It is merely your friendly neighbourhood Rusty P. Bucket, in search of treasures and bargains!
