Went to a show just lookin' for reloading stuff and....

Post by 2ndovc »

Ended up doing some early Christmas shopping. :D

My youngest stepson has been hinting lately that he'd like something bigger than a .22 and
would like to start going along to the cabin for deer season.

Well not finding the Old Boy that's usually there with all the reloading stuff I was about
to leave when I spotted this pre safety 336 in 35 Rem. on a table. I asked how much and
the guy says $250 I say how 'bout $200 and he says ok and throws in a partial box of shells.

She's in really good shape but I think I'll refinish the stocks. There's some dents and scrapes and the previous owner did a lousy
jo installing the rear sling swivel.
The kid loves my 1895M set up with a XS Scout mount and a Leupold scope so I think I'll add that too.

The best part is I finally get play with a 35 Rem and also get to do all the load development and sighting it in!

One of those days that things just come together.
The Gods must be smiling :D

Loan him YOUR rifle to hunt deer with this season and let him fall in love with it. Then give it to him for Christmas.

Great deal on a great gun for a great purpose! That is a plan coming together, don't you think? :wink:

I'd let him hunt it and then give it to him at Christmas. :D

Thanks Guys!

Got dies, bullets, and the XS mount ordered from Midway. They were out of 35 Rem. brass so I'll have to do some
more poking around.

The more I read about the 35 Remington the more excited I get about it.

Good score! All the "pre-owned" levers in shops around here are priced as if they were "NIB".
