In yesterday’s horse tradin episode after work I traded an SKS rifle that I had absolutely no use for ( it also came from a horse trade deal) for a. Model 721 Remington in 30-06. Pretty nice condition with a same era Bushnell fixed 4 power.
I have a soft spot for old Remingtons I guess.

I somehow acquired for my 14th birthday a Remington Pump Model 29 - 12ga shotgun my dad had traded to my uncle some years before .
So proud owner of old shotgun but had crack in magazine tube . repaired it in shop class by brazing the so it worked . Later I found one a friend had bought at garage sale , receiver and the tube and gave him the $1 he paid for it . FIT PERFECT
So have good working Model 29 .
Later at a gun show I found a Remington Model 10 - predecessor to the 29
Both of Browning design and patent (load and eject from bottom of receiver)
So found a Ithaca Model 37 - Browning design same action
Later found at another gun show a Browning Model BPM shotgun .
So guess now I have the full series of 12ga all based on Browning's progression in that style of action . Shooting left handed these work great .
Still one of my favorite shotguns for pheasant is the Iver Johnson single shot 12ga with the solid rib barrel of 34" length .

My one unused firearms is the Winchester Model 100 I bought 55 years back .
.284 caliber so hard to find ammo . but at the time I traded off a a Argentine 7mm Mouser I had bought at Coast to Coast hardware for $20 for first attempt in deer hunting .
So now the Model 100 is more display than used , Should have traded it years back for something different

Coke, that .284 is a rare bird... Might be looking at BIG MONEY... Do a Google search.. Might be worth selling if you dont need it.

Coke in Mn, I have an old rifle, barrel says "Hudson Bay Co." it's in .284 Winchester, Bushnell scope, no iron sights. Came with some ammo, have 30 in 150 gr left. Bought at a farm auction in the 1980's.

I've only shot it a few times, but hits where scope is pointed. Not much in Iowa to shoot it at but keeping for "just in case".

The .223 handles ocassional coyote or badger and other pests out of .22 LR range/size.
