As I don't want to hijack the other thread, but today I learned about a model of mid-20th century sporting rifle of the semi-auto variety, the Remington 740.
Overall I dont have a thing for sporting weapons (or do I?) but I kinda dig this thing. Its very aesthetically 1950s, and another 30-06 I can add that's not another bolt gun.
I know they suck, but I like to overcome problems in guns I get (as long as its NOT something valuable)
I searched online briefly tonight and noticed they are charging $600+ for one online. I'd pay $500 if it came with a good scope.
Whats the best way to get one? And is there any other semi-auto sporting rifles from the time that are much better built but similarly priced?
