I wonder if the guys bidding on this gold cup trophy have seen the 5 pages of Gunbroker ads that show several for approx $800? (without the added fees!)

Dang, I can't afford one of his 22's.  I really like that Marlin 1897...I'm just going to stay happy with my Model 39.  The Belgium Browning 22's are sweet as well...and priced above my pay grade.

Fun looking at the collection. Would love to hear him give the story behind them. I'm sure that there are a few with great stories.

I bet there are some stories.  There's a pic with Charlston Heston at some event for providence on a shotgun.

I'd really like to know why he's selling these and if he is keeping others.  That Blaser set is really fine...

From what I have seen of his collection, there are MANY others he has, as far as I know. Most notable is the Sharps from Quigly Down Under. I have also seen a few others from movies. Need to remember that he is not a young man anymore, and probably downsizing. Could also be some donations being made.

[UPDATED with auction date]

I foolishly sold my 625's some years ago and have been longing to replace them for some time now.  Actually I'd really rather have the S&W 325 Thunder Ranch.  Just perfect for competition, either IDPA or ICORE (big 6 division).  Of course they're scarcer than an honest Congress Critter.  (By the way I use to work for Sen Thom Tilles, NC, in another life and not surprise he'd end up in politics.) 

I long after the 325 and there's been none available UNTIL NOW.   TWO, that's right TWO of them on Rock Island Auction.  Here's the prettier one of the 2.  (Lord keep me strong)  Bidding closes ~3pm ET,July 6th, and it's already at $800 with 36 bids.  There's 18.5% auction fee, plus s&h on top of that.

Get it.  You know you want it.  It doesn't matter how much it costs.....get it anyway.  Go for it.  Cinch it up and ride high a bid high.

Easy to say when it's someone else's money...

Selling guns is bad... only buy.

I have sold 2 in my life, I don't regret them as both were pos.    One was a block 17 Leo trade in I made $50 after 500 rounds.   The other was a mini 14 that minute of pipe plate at 100 was a pipe dream

Don't miss either.
