Other Today's pawnshop finds

I hit the three local pawn shops this morning. Here's what I got, cheap at one of them.
A Gamo Varmit and an American Classic. This makes four, I think, of the 1377 style guns I have.
The target pic shows the first three shots I fired with the rifle, without touching the scope.

pawn shop near me thinks a Winchester break barrel is worth $ 150 ( because it is made by Winchester is what he said .}

Yeah, I looked at a Winchester the other day. They wanted $100. I passed.

Nice. I'm guessing the internet makes pawn shop bargains hard to come by anymore.

When I used to visit the US I would scope out pawn shops. Your pawn shops are the best! Crow

Never know what you will find. I was in a pawn shop by my house recently and they had a Daisy 717 in good shape for $30 out the door. I went home and did a little research and thought it worth a chance. The guy at the pawn shop said it was cheap because it wouldn't hold air. I worked the lever and sure enough there was no pressure. Then I cocked the bolt and worked the lever again and it obviously had resistance. I didn't know until I got it home that you always have to cock it BEFORE it will hold air. Works great
