I am looking to up the ante on my collecting and buy an “investment grade” rifle.  I have never bought a gun of this quality or price.  I do not want  to over pay, but especially don’t want to get ripped off.  Am I better off at the RIA auction, WACA show in Ohio or working through a dealer?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

 Brad, Why not do all three. Just post links or pictures and let the Form sort the guns out. Do not be in a hurry, you can only spend your money once. T/R

Transactions like these are more about the gun and parties involved, not the venue. Do your research, buy what you like, like what you buy. And above all, have fun!

Assuming you are getting a good gun I prefer buying from an individual or shop directly so you don’t pay an additional buyers premium.
