Just curious as to how many of you all have made rifle purchases at pawn shops? If you have, how well did you do with the purchase; did the rifle shoot as well as you hoped when you got it to the range?
Personally I have made one pawn shop purchase. I traded an old hammerlock muzzle loader that I really did not like shooting and a $100 bill for a Ruger American in .243. I have been very pleased with the purchase myself. I have taken the rifle and three different loads and got all three to 1/2 MOA. I have not been able to find any more good "deals" like that in a while. I have seen a Tikka T3 in 7mm08 that I can't talk the owner to lowering the price on.
