    I have a safe queen Ruger M77 in 7mm Remington Mag. It's one of the classic tang-safety models with walnut stock. The bluing is perfect and no scratches in the stock. I'm not the original owner, but from the looks of the gun it has not had a box of shells thru it. Serial number puts it at 1980. I'd like $500 for it. I've not advertised it and am not anxious to sell it so please be kind. :)

     

    I really doubt there are many nicer Ruger 77s around.

     

    I'm in Flagstaff.

    You sold your hds for 1200!!! Your nuts! That's what I see the brs going for around here!!!!!

    I dont think he said he sold them. He merely pointed out the recent sale at auction on a national venue.

     

    Listed as new in Reno, NV and sold for $1200.50 with 6 bids.

    Lots of them on eBay for hundreds more, but they don't seem to be selling. For instance, here is a pair with a starting price of $1600 that has no bids so far after 5 days. Perhaps it will get bids at the end.

    Good luck with yours.

    "Another thing to note is that surrendered tags don't necessarily need to go back to the department, but any of the approved 501c3 organizations. Such as the ones we are all familiar with that assist wounded military, terminally ill youth, and others. One would get their bonus points reinstated and get a tax write off in the process this way."

     

    Any process like this needs to be VERY carefully controlled. What if an approved 501C3 had the same intentions as the backers of HB2072 that was (thankfully) defeated?

     

    OK, here is a scenario for the tag return. Say I've got max points for elk. With those I can get drawn for a trophy rifle hunt any year. I get an early unit 10 bull tag. Mr. X pays me $5000 cash under the table to "donate" the tag to a specific 501C3. Said 501C3 sells the tag to Mr. X or his wife or son or ??? for another $5000. I get my bonus points back plus the point as if I was not drawn. Next year, by definition I'm at the top of the heap again so I get an early rifle bull tag in unit 23. Wash rinse and repeat, over and over for years.

     

    The rules need to be VERY tightly written to prevent all kinds of unforeseen abuse.

    This is the first thing I thought of when I read this proposal. I have no problem with a tag surrender policy, as long as it is available to everyone, and any surrendered tags went to the next guy in line ONLY. Allowing someone to turn it over to a so called "nonprofit" org, while retaining their points, is outrageous, and should be TOTALLY out of the question. All points should be lost. Anything less would be a way for corruption to work it's way in. Such a policy would grossly cheapen everyone else's points, and cheat those next in line.

    Hunt of a lifetime? Really guys, there lots of worthy organizations who deserve surrendered tags and already get them.

     

    .

     

    No doubt. Some of us would like to make sure it stays that way.

     

    Some of us remember HB2072 that would have allocated a bunch of premium tags to AZSFW ( never mentioned by name in the bill but the only 501C3 that met the criteria outlined therein) to be sold at their discretion. By the way, some other folks thought that bill allocated tags to a "worthy organization", just a difference of opinion about what constitutes "worthy". By the way, as I remember HOAL opposed HB2072!

     

    Some of us would just like to see this tightly controlled to prevent big money interests from getting another leg up on the masses.

     

    Some of us worry about abuse of any government system by folks who learn to play the system.

    Many companies have owned the Winchester trademark over the years. If your M94 has a serial number under 2,600,000 it is the most sought after as a "pre-64" with all milled parts. In 1964 they cheapened the M94 and restarted the serial numbers at 2,700,000 to denote the changes. Other versions were made since then with further changes. The value really depends on the vintage almost as much as the condition (within reason).

    Most propane suppliers either have them or can order them for you. I use Graves propane in Flagstaff and I believe they can order various sizes. I assume you either have a tank or rent one at your cabin so I'd call the propane supplier you use. The company that made them for many years was Servel. I think they are now part of Dometic who make them for RVs. As I'm writing that, I'm thinking you might try your local RV place too. Altho you dont want a propane RV fridge, they may be able to help you purchase the residential one.

     

    A warning, they are somewhat expensive.

    Recently acquired this 1974 Remington 700ADL 30-06 as part of a package deal. The barrel is 22". The stock has some normal handling scratches from being hunted, but overall is quite nice for 40 years old. I do not know the round count, but the rifling looks sharp and bright. Minor bluing wear. The bolt face still retains most of its bluing so I wouid guess it is fairly low round count. The configuration is all original - stock, finish, sights, buttplate. Has Weaver bases and Weaver rings.

     

    Prefer FTF in N. Phoenix.

    Sorry if it's a wild goose chase guys. Last year at mid-day on Friday they had lots of them in different calibers available in the N. Phx store. If I'm by there on Friday, I'll check again this year.

     

    Update - since I live in Flagstaff and dont want to drive down if not available, I just called the N. Phx store (623-434-3388) and talked to David the Mgr in the firearms section. He said they have a reasonable stock, BUT either tonight yet or during the sale, they will special order any available caliber (for the varmint or ADLs) at the Black Friday price and can pick it up within about 2 weeks.

    Not associated with Dicks, but just saw they have Remington 700 Varmints and ADLs on sale on Black Friday (actually starts on Thursday PM) for $400 after rebate. Doesnt say in the ad but the picture shows a scope so I'm assuming its that package with a Remington scope they sell. They also show the Rem 770 with a scope for $250. I almost bought one of the varmint 700s last year when they had them on BF, maybe this year....
