Good Gun Deals This Week

Oh my goodness. That is a great price. However, I hate it when people do not list LOP!
 
Hello friends,

Many of you have asked me for advice on gun searches as it's a bit of a hobby for me to "see what is out there" each week. I discussed this with @AfricaHunting.com and he permitted me to create a running post on the Classifieds section.

The purpose of the posts will be to show what interesting guns of good quality and value may be popping up on the Internet each week. My personal guidelines of a "good gun" are as follows:

"That is a quality weapon with soul, character, inherent quality, and can be purchased for what I or others believe is a good value. This may mean a $60,000 gun is being sold for half of that price, hence a good value, or it may mean that it is a heck of a gun for someone with $200-$300 to spare but they don't want to buy plastic junk. Frugality and quality are important factors so hopefully the well-heeled and the working blue-collar man both get something out of the topic."

I invite others with experience to jump in and "kick the tires" if my critiques are off. There are many experts on this forum that will be able to add to the conversation in the hopes that we all get more knowledgeable at appraising the strengths and weaknesses of the guns listed.

A final warning: While I'll try to list guns that are offered on "legitimate" gun sites, a legitimate site is not a guarantee of a legitimate seller. You must always assess the legitimacy of any purchase by determining the feedback rating, methods of payment, and reasonable terms of any advertisement. Caveat emptor.

Regards,

@rookhawk
outstanding. thx
 
A gun I saw recently for the working man. It's a 1941 British Enfield sporter. These were imported in the 1960s and 1970s by Golden State Arms. Most of them are pretty low quality but their top of the line was the "supreme" which indeed, this specimen is. They had a very nice stock, likely by bishop, and are a completely serviceable arm that has a lot of class. Presently, the starting bid is $150. For somebody that wants to hunt North America with some dignity and love of tradition while spending less than the least expensive new piece of trash you can possibly find at the sporting goods store, this is a bargain.


***As always, I have no affiliation with the seller. Caveat emptor.
let the buyer beware...seems reasonable
 
The link below isn't for a "Good Deal" so much as a limited option that doesn't appear too often at a reasonable price. As a left-handed shooter, I look at a lot of Rugers but I've never been a fan of the newer Hawkeye Guide guns (Model 47124) with the big butt pad & the spacers. To me, it's an ugly rifle no matter how practical the adjustability might be.

I like the older early versions of the left-handed Hawkeye in 375 Ruger (Model 17100) with a laminated stock & a 20" matte stainless barrel. I see one of these older configurations pop up about once a year. If I didn't already have a pair of 375 H&H rifles, I would probably buy one.

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
