saw a salesman at a shooting store in Fielding probably 20 years ago talking to a dude who brought one of those in to see what its worth and maybe sell it.
I was catching a glimpse here and there and it was super tidy. One of those rifles bought by a cashed up farmer and just never used.
The dud got the full sell down speil. Not a bolt action, no half cock, has to be loaded all the time so no-one wants them as they aren't as safe etc. etc.
Cant remember the dollars offered or even if I heard it at all, as I suspect if it was really low I would've probably jumped in and given him 50 more than the shop.
Doubt he was going to give him much. Mind you to a degree he was right. A lot do think that way
