I went in a pawn shop today looking for a rolling toolbox and spotted something behind the counter. It was a Model 70 Coyote in 25 WSSM for $500. It is at least 99% no scratches or wear anywhere. I got the guy to $400 and bought it. I really like the blued/stainless/laminated look. I know they are just a glorified 25-06 and ammo/brass is hard to find but somehow it just needed to come home with me. Ever buy a gun "just because"?

Yep. $400 is a good deal too. I had the exact rifle in .223 for a while. Nice find.

Is there any other way?

I bought my Kampfeld Custom in 308 just because. Thats a good deal on that gun. Did the scope come with it?

Here in Pearland, I always buy them on a lark. Got 2 700-adl w/scopes 270 and 36-06 for 600.00 total, and a browning auto for 350.00.All in awesome shape

Yeah, the scope came with, it's just a cheap Barska. But it should work until I find something else. This is my first "pawn shop find" in 50 years on this earth. I usually just find junk in those places

yea i hear about people finding good deals in pawn shops. Unfortunately ive never been one of the lucky ones. Good find either way.

+1. My buddy wanted to me to go with him to look at a rifle he was thinking about getting for his first cause he is new to hunting. He took me to a local pawn shop here and showed me a used regular old VG1 ($399 version new) with a Leupold VX-1 on it. Pawn guy had it priced at $700. I laughed and got my buddy outta there quick. Freaking crazy.

Cause I talked you into it, stupid on my part wish I would have bought it myself

They had a Rem 770 right beside this gun in 270 for $450.00. He actually told me it might be a better deal since he knew nothing about this "funny looking" Winchester.

Why else would I own a 338 Federal?

Congratulations on your new rifle - enjoy!

Thanks guys, i think it will be fun. Just ordered brass and dies, just have to work up a load. Now I will never to pass a pawn shop again without stopping!

About 1x a month, I have even bought a rife because I had ammo,& dies.

That's thinking with your dipstick Jimmy! outstanding

A few of my guns were bought just because I was having a bad day. Needed something to cheer me up!

I bought my XD9 just because I wanted to see how it compared to my xd40 LOL.

I would say over 3/4 of my gun purchases were on a lark. I have a few in the safe that have been there for years I have never shot, but they are still fun to own,

I don't think I've ever bought a gun that was a really justified, responsible, well thought out deal.

hahaha I have to agree.

That was a dang good snag on the 25 for $400. Congrats

Son - That's how you end up with a safe full of guns!

Last year I couldn't decide whether I wanted a 300WSM or get nostalgic and buy an older model Marlin 336 in .35 Rem. I just hate decisions like that so I compromised - - - - - wait for it.......



......Yep, bought both of 'em

Just yesterday I traded a pond boat for two guns i don't even want, but its fun antway.

i like the way you guys think. i can only assume most of you aren't married.

Picked up a beutifully sporterized Argentine Mauser in 7.65 Arg. $100. They had already sold the gun I had hoped to get, so this was the consolatio prize. Didn't know anything about it, but thought it was neat.
