A few months back a dear friend of mine passed away,,,
Her only remaining relative is her brother who lives in California.
I stored her many rifles and handguns until he could make the drive to pick them up.
Long story short my friend was on the rifle team in high school,,,
She had mentioned this was her rifle for competition,,,
She also showed me her several trophies.
Anyways I offered her brother what I thought was a fair price for the rifle,,,
He just said, "It's yours. Consider it a payment for storing the others."
I was flabbergasted!
It's a Mossberg 340-KC with target sights,,,
While it's very dusty and crusted with 25 year old oil,,,
The stock is in very good shape and there is no rust on it anywhere.
I think I will name her Matilda,,,
It's a name of Germanic origin and means Powerful Battler.
Just wanted to share (brag about) my good fortune,,,
Every time I see this rifle hanging on my wall,,,
I will think of my dear departed friend.
