trading off or selling a 17hmr tomorrow.

[gonzo gunner]

i've got a custom stocked 17hmr that i had sent off to kevin rayhill to inlet a stock for it for me. it has a alumimun skeleton in it. it is piller bedded and glass bedded. it started out life as a savage 93 .17hmr with the accutrigger. i removed the trigger and reworked it. it is between 8-6 ozs now. no creep. it breaks like glass. it has a tasco 10x40x50mm target scope on it. i have 7 full boxes of the lot of hornady 20 grain jhp's that is going with it. when the weather allows it i have shot consistant 7/16 inch groups with it. i call it the big orange stick. if your at court days i'll have it with me. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p19/gonzogunner/funtimes006.jpg

it has a draw length for a adult man, adjustable cheek piece, thumbhole and a custom made trigger guard. the rifle will need to be rezeroed because i took my goo weaver t36 off of it, but the tasco will work just fine. all jokes aside this rifle shoots. i have $500 invested in just the stock alone, not to mention the trigger work i did on it. this rifle shoots 7/16 inch groups at 100 yards. i hate to get rid of it but there are a few other things i want to do and this rifle is in my way right now. i'm letting the last 7 boxes of the case of 20 grain hornady go with it. that is 7 boxes of 50 i have left out of a case.

Imagine if you will a small valley about 200 yards wide and half a mile long with about 5000 people and 80% have a gun to trade or sell.

When is Court Days this year?

How much you askin?

I might take my 22 mag. It does not weigh much and I can bring it back home if the prices are normal for Court Days. Most times you can buy something for $50 over Walmart or Dick's price.

By the way gonzo ... Love that hummer. I have one that I spent a pretty good bit on as well and I wouldn't trade it for nothin . They are fantastic shooter!!! Just wish I had changed thestock out. I have the factory wood on which sure is heavy but I didn't know any better at the time! Oh well I still love that gun!

well if you go it started today!!! i'll tell you that your stuff is junk and thier stuff is all gold lined!! i saw boxes of winchester white box .380 with 100 rounds selling for $55 a box!! people were gladdly buying it!! boxes of 50 rounds went for $35-$45!!! i almost fell over with shock when i saw people buying the crap out of it!!!

i tried to do some trading on a couple of crickets for my girlfriends son. everybody wanted to trade me even for a $125 .22lr cricket rifle that is just a little over 2ft long for her son!!! my rifle is in a stockade stock, glass and piller bedded and has a tasco 10x40x50mm scope on it!! i sold a entire brick of 20 grain hmr ammo right off the bat this morning for more than i paid for it!! that was the only deal of the day for me!!!

what is courtdays? how can i say it? if you want it it is there. goats,chickens,dogs,food,shoes,socks,underwear,cov eralls and guns. lots and lots of guns!! if you go take at least 2 guns with you because young children will ask thier parents what is wrong with you if you aren't packing at least one firearm. i'd say more than 80% had a firearm today. kids were even packing airsoft rifles to keep from being out of place!!!

the super hot ticket there this year is over-under shot guns. if you have one and want to sell it that is the place to go!! my buddy was looking for a choke for a stoker(i hope i spelled it right) over under shot gun. he gave $225 for it at the last gunshow we went to and i saw him turn down $350 for it!!! if a man had a truck load of them he could make a killing there this weekend!!

Back in olden times, circuit judges held a traveling court. Some places did not see a judge for 6 months or more. It was a big attraction.

Today in Kentucky every little town has some form of festival to draw people and tourists, hoping to gain a financial advantage.

Mt. Sterling decided to have Court Days as its festival. In 4 days this little town becomes a hugh entanglement of arms and legs in a very small area. People everywhere. Dog trading was really big 15-20 years ago. Gun trading still is. It is a giant outdoor flea market on one side of town and a giant gun show on one end.

Saturday and Sunday will be spectacular, if the weather does not run people off.
