Gun show score
Just had to brag on this find. I have been looking for a left handed Remington 788 in 6mm for years. Found one 100%, unfired. Im sure I overpaid for it, but figured, where will I ever find another. Birthdate of March 1974.
Had one many years ago and it was a tack driver. Both of my boys are lefty's as well, so this one will stay in the family forever.

I was into 98 Mausers at the time and thought anything that didn't have a big claw extractor was useless. How dumb I was.

WELL, I certainly never did that!
twice or three or four times!
I didn't know.....
