[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2724631, member: 13337"] I popped in to The Evil Pawn Shop a few days ago,,, In the rack with the usual .22 rifles,,, One stood out by about 4". I took it down and it was a very nice Western Field M815,,, .22 single-shot bolt action with a 24" barrel. This rifle was clean,,, There wasn't one dent in the wood,,, There aren't any scratches to speak of either. Someone had taken nice care of it,,, The blue on the metal is at least 95% original,,, I got a light reflected in and the bore is crisp and shiny. The price tag said $129.00. I left thinking about the rifle,,, After a quick Google search I found it. Marketed in the early 60's by Montgomery Ward,,, The rifle is in actuality a Mossberg 320B. I own a Mossberg 340-KC from that same era,,, It shoots as tight a group as I get with my CZ-452 Trainer. So I go back in yesterday and say,,, You know I'm your favorite customer,,, What's my price out the door for that rifle. The Evil Pawn Shop Guy punched a few buttons on his calculator,,, Then told me I could have it for $100.00 total. I jumped on that like a hamster on a Cheeto! :woohoo1: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.aarondgraham.com_pics_150318_M815_web.jpg[/IMG] I love the older vintage rifles,,, I have an affinity for single-shots,,, But most important I love a good bargain. I think I did just fine on this deal,,, I'll get to the range this weekend and test it out. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
