A trio of gun trades

Post by BenT »

Image

Here is some trades I did in the last couple of months. Got rid of one lever and two bolts and gained the same back. I traded a BLR 300 WSM and a marlin 22 bolt toward the Marlin 444 and Ruger 77 , 243 with manlicher stock ( pure eye candy) . Then I ran across this Savage 340 in 222 and I traded a Marlin 782 22 mag and $100 for it. It shoots great, but I'm still dialing in some loads for it.

Also check out this wood on this Marlin. It also shoots nice . Can hit a 5 gallon bucket with open site at 200 yards. The Ruger shoots great too . So I'm very happy with these trades. I still don't get enough time to shoot them .

Nice wood! Congrats, looks like you did good.
That Ruger sure could make me like manlicher stocks.

Man, I love those Mannlicher stocks and the buttstock on the Marlin is great.

Excellent trading - and YES, I like the .444's wood, too.

I'm partial to full-stocked Rugers, myself.
