Tim,
All three of your Model 71 Special rifles appear to be in excellent graded condition, and you have them very reasonably priced.
Have you sent me the serial numbers for each rifle for my ongoing research survey?

Thank you for the feedback, Bert.
Yes, I believe I have sent all three numbers your way, previously.

Nice 71’s ….
Has the CFO seen your nicely worded ad?

I’d fire that CFO, they sound a little crazy. (If the CFO is the wife, then disregard…..maybe.)

My suggestion to prove to your CFO your “true” intent to sell your “excess’, is to attend the Cody WACA show in July… I can guarantee that at least one will sell… the unfortunate flip side, several other items may find their way to your trunk for the drive home… 🙂 ps… that’s a very nice group of 71’s. You have very good taste. cheers! Ben

There were a handful of nice 71’s for sale at the last Cody show but that shouldn’t discourage you from trolling it around to test the waters. I’d fire my CFO but he’s wearing my socks right now.

If you can attend, get there by Wednesday and join us at the 2nd Annual BYOB BBQ gathering…

Yeah, I’d love to come to Cody. 2,600 mile round trip….but hey, I’m retired!
There is a gun show in two weeks in Springfield, MO – only 90 minutes away. Will likely take one or two there.
I just bought a Heym drilling yesterday, so additional motivation!

Sometimes sacrifices need to be made…:-) It would be a pleasant two day drive there…. three wonderful days in Cody… meet all sorts of great people (and a few knot heads)… return home with plans made to return next year… 🙂
BTW: Since you like Drillings… I’d happily trade you a 1890’s era Sauer 16x16x9.3x72R that has wonderful engraving for one of your “plain” 71’s… your choice.
Ben – your post says x73 but I am only familiar with the 72 and 74mm variants?
Have you slugged your drilling? Is is .364? That x72 is a rather rare and odd duck. I think originally BP?

fat fingers on my part… it is 9.3x72R…. I’d even throw in a couple of boxes of ammo…. 🙂

I don’t see any prices. How much for the bottom 71 with the bolt peep ?

I was not drawing any buyers here, so shifted the sales ad to Africahunting dot com.
Many forums detest cross-posting and I did not want to offend, so withdrew the ad here.

Well, I still have the 1952 rifle. Even after a significant price drop to $3,200. Rough market!
Wife and I are contemplating the drive to Cody from Ozark County Missouri! Will bring the 71 if we come.

Hope you can make it. The Cody show is a wonderful event. I only wish I had started attending sooner! If you do make it, stop by my tables (4)… next to last row kitty-corner from the entrance, yellow table covers… non-skinny guy w/ silver hair looking exhausted, may have BBQ sauce stained fingers. Cheers! Ben

non-skinny guy w/ silver hair looking exhausted
I think that describes 80% of the show vendors
