gun price

[sugerbear]

i'm buying this gun tomorrow.

http://www.nramuseum.com/the-museum/the-galleries/for-the-fun-of-it/case-73a-a-youthful-acclimation/winchester-model-290-deluxe-semi-automatic-rifle.aspx

looks like new, with a period weaver scope and sling.

can't find a price on a "deluxe" model. gun broker has a "deluxe" but not with this stock.

mine looks exactly like the one pictured.

been looking for over an hour and found nothing.

help.  thanks

oh yea, i'm getting it for $250 with a cleaning and guarantee to be "right"

The price seems OK, could be a little better.  But condition is relevant.

And many .22s are ammo specific finicky, and if you plan to shoot it this will be something you'll have to explore.

thanks jess, just what i was looking for, but couldn't find. 

price is a LITTLE high, but is in really good shape. it has a brazilian(sp) hardwood stock.

much nicer than any i saw on the videos. i'll post a pic when i get it.

it's from an estate sale, money goes to the widow, so i feel a little better about the price too.

and..............wifey likes it
