Gun show today in Morrisville , VT. Pretty small by most peoples standards, I would guess. About 25 vendors in a small gym. Very busy! People shoulder to shoulder around the tables, lots of long gun sales happening. I think the selecion was pretty typical for VT. Not too many handguns, mostly Glocks and revolvers. I was really hoping for a 10MM, but none to be seen. Hunting rifles as far as you can see. I can't really understand why one would buy a new bolt action hunting rifle around here. The selection of like new used w/ nice scopes was staggering. The hot sellers seemed to be battle rifles and .22 autoloaders. Saw lots of SKS and Ak's, few FN's and M44's, one or two AR's heading out the door. Maybe people feeling a little necessity for Homeland Defense.
I picked up a good condition (little dirty) ruger 77/22 w/ bushnell 3x-9x variable scope and four magazines for $340. Doesn't look like it was shot much, just not cleaned. No pitting in the bore I dont think. No rust. Its the blued model w/ walnut stock, but it must be an older model as it also has fold down iron sights, which the current catalog lists only w/ syn stock. I can't wait to try it out tommorrow. How did I do on the price? Any goodies the THR 77/22 owner shouldn't be seen without? What do you think the maximum effective range for this set up will be? Thanks for looking. I'll post a shooting report tommorrow.
