Stopped by the local Gander MT store today.
I usually don't go there much.
The prices are a little to high for me.
While looking at the used guns, most of the used H&Rs were in the $229.00 range I spotted a 500S&W for $199.00.
HW so it is a 06 model.
It had a rail and the front sight.
The rear sight was gone and one of the sight screws was messed up.
It had a really nice factory tiger stripe stock on it, shame the forearm didn't match with the same stripping.
Asked the salesman if he knew anything about the gun and was that the bottom dollar.
Turns out he did know the gun.
It was his brothers.
He had traded it in on a new MOSSBERG 12ga.
He said it had been fired only 3 times.
Once by him and twice by his brother.
He went to ask the boss about the price.
When he came back they had dropped the price to $175.00 + tax.
Didn't need it as I already have one but who can turn down an as new Handy for that price!
I guess I will find something to do with it.
Just shows that you never know what deals you may find, even at the high price stores.
