Oh and as another sweetener you can also have the wooden box the rifle came in for free too.

Unbelievable...I had heard that they used to have a hard time giving these things away, I guess it's true.

I can remember when they were 19.95 & 24.95 w/o scopes, and 79.95 unissued in their cases, complete except for the spotting scope.

That rifle I sold Angel last year came from an old fellow in Regina. He paid $175 for it in the late 70s. Didn't look like he shot it much.

What's that old expression Rob?

"If I knew what I know now and it was 30 years ago, I'd do a lot of things differently." ... :rofl:

First off, I would have bought about 50 of these old girls at that price... ;)

Here is a pic of an ad that is pasted to the inside lid of my spare #15 sniper chest.
https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo.../03/4Tad-1.jpg
They certify the complete setup as a $280 value. The chest is worth more than that these days.

Edited to add: I just realised that these two ads are form the same supplier. You can see that the #4Ts were already starting to climb up even back then. They had appreciated $5 by the time of the second ad.
