Fellas, this one kinda hurt.

I been at watch and high bidder on those types and in last seconds watched them sky rocket. That one got away!!

The one you miss out on is one you can never get back,

Somebody is doing a happy dance over that win for sure! I'm happy for them and hope they have a great time carrying it. They can make a few stories about how they "scored" on a great deal to tell their friends.

Maybe it got away and maybe it didn't. You don't know how high the other bidder was willing to go. I have been in enough auctions, both in person and on line to know it only takes two bidders to drive the price up. One thing for sure, the winning bidder got a great deal.

Well you can all eat your hearts out. I've got it's twin brother! Didn't think it would be worth $1400.0 though. I've got a number of Rem 6 mms as I really like the caliber for deer, coyote, and antelope.

Treat yourself to, a .243 Win., Tikka T-3 and you'll start to feel, a little bit,.. "Better" !
I HAD one of those, #1, Ruger's in 6 MM and the Rifle would do, a good "Cold Bore" first shot or, two,.. THEN, would start "Walking" the Bullets.
They DO look Sweet, tho !

But you never know just how much more the high bidder would have paid - $50, $100.....$1,000?

Yeah but you LET them get away with it for that price haha . Isn't that how the mind works…"if I can't have it that cheap ain't NOBODY gettin it!" (In a Beverly hillbilly "ma" voice)

I have really been want a Ruger no1 lately. I have no real use for one....but when has that ever stopped me before.
I figure out what is the most I would pay for something in an auction and just put it in. It kinda eases the pain when you don't win.

 

[John Klingenberg]

I've been wanting one as a project to re-stock and barrel for years, this one would've fit the bill nicely. I've got a couple pieces of superb spalted maple that sure would look nice on a falling block something.

I have a 6mm Ruger #1 bicentennial model I purchased in the 70s. I remember paying less than $400.00 for it . Has always shot real good. Also have one in 375 H&H that walks the shots vertically. They are fun to shoot.

 

[Hugnot]

I feel your pain!

3 months ago I bought a like new Ruger M77 MKII, .243 stainless, paddle stock, circa 1999 for $380 at my local Cabello's store. It was in the rack for less than 1 hour, then by fortune I saw it. It will soon be a quick twist .22-.250 - this might offend some Ruger fans. It might have had some worthy collector value but I just had to have another .22-.250.

Yikes! bad day.

 

[Frenchie1]

I was in and out the shop today kind of watching an auction site I frequent for this one particular item and I missed it by seconds. I'm feeling a little mad at myself, what say you?View attachment 366326

Oh No!

 

[lubbockdave]

There will be other deals come along…but that was a great deal. Try to substitute the memory of this one with some other great deal you made. Every time you think about this one.
