My son and his friend didn't grow up thumbing through the Stoeger book when guns were blue and brown. I've recently starting picking up what I consider iconic firearms (Winchester 12, Ithaca 37, Remington 700 BDL) because it seems like the Grand Kids have no use for these. I was trying to put things in perspective, e.g. what was the relative value of a Pre '64 Winchester, Remington 700 BDL, and Ruger 77 back in the day?
I know it's an apples/oranges comparison. My Ruger M77 V (heavy barrel) in 25-06 cost $256 in 1981. Does anybody have an idea what a Remington 700 BDL went for then? What was the cost of a 1963 Winchester Model 70 vs. a 1963 Remington 700 BDL?
I hope all y'all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a great 2019.
Thanks,
Big John
