My daughter took me on a road trip today to the Cabela's Store in Hamburg PA.  Found a Topper 58 with 30/30 and 20 gauge barrels on the used gun rack for $90!  All in pretty good shape.  Good colors on the frame, just a few scratches on the wood finish.

Good Going. I am a Topper collector as well and am happy you scored on your hunting trip.

$90 !!!!!!!!!!!  You probably spent more on gas and food that day.  Were there any other deals on the rack?  Or did you just wanna pay for it and leave before he raised the price  ;)    3leg

It was the only thing in the whole store that I thought qualified as a bargain.  All guns (everywhere-not just here) seem to be priced way higher than they should be, but there were people standing in lines to buy them!  You had to take a number and wait to have a salesperson show you anything behind the counter.  New rifles-shotguns-handguns and used handguns are all out of reach, only used long guns are out where you can pick them up.
