I went holster hoppin' at a couple guns shops today. Got a great Berns-Martin holster posted elsewhere here. In the cheap gun rack where you can pick stuff up I saw a reblued Remington Model 81 in .300 Savage. It was a little over buffed, maybe more than I remember, but had the original steel butt plate with no pad. I didn't understand the scribbled price tag. It looked like $50. I asked the guy what the first digit is and he said it is in fact $50. It also had one of those cool curved tang peep sights that screw on to the rear "hump". That alone is worth more than $50. I didn't understand this but I bought it. Have to wait ten days now. I have .300 Savage model 81 and love it. I'll see if this thing shoots OK because I have ammo. I just don't know why the gun shop didn't buy it from the seller who's consignment payout will only be about $35. This was very, very, weird. Maybe the rifle is haunted or something.
