I just can't believe that someone paid the asking price.
The last one that came to auction (last year) sold for $20,685 (cdn) less....
I know where I can buy a Winchester 1 of 1000 in fine condition for (a lot) less than the difference...

What a price tag it had! Whoever bought it has some deep pockets.

browningautorifle I assume that the rifle would have been on strength of one of the units attending the 76 exercise to Canada 🇨🇦 Good bit of history for the new custodian

Neat to think it was just across the tank park from me at some point, when we were shaking out to move.

I was involved in a few of those too, if only at a minimum role. It's all wrapped up together with BATUS. They try to get the best bang for their buck they can.
