I need to clean out my gun safe a make room for new toys. I have some guns that are collecting dust and I no longer need them. These will make someone a good deal:

Oldie, but goodie! - Weatherby Vanguard in .270, w/ Redfield 3x9x40 scope and sling. This rifle has killed more deer than I can remember! All black synthetic stock, floated barrel, and shoots great. It is approximately 13years old and I am asking $400 for it. (it has some minor wear marks)

Youngster starter gun: H&R 20ga crack barrel that has the push safety to keep the gun from firing when cocked. The stock has been cut to fit a small child and I have used this gun to start out my children while duck hunting. They have all grown up to bigger guns, so its in the way now! -$50 takes it!

Another classic - Remington model 1100, 12ga. - shoots only 2 3/4" shells, plain barrel w/ old time poly choke on the end. Dove/duck killing machine that I may end up keeping just as a spare gun. $175 (has lots of wear and bluing is worn off in spots - no rust).

All are located in Crowley, but I travel to Lafayette almost daily, so let me know if you want to take a look at them. Email me for more info @ bryan.foti@teammcllc.com.

Thanks for looking!

i'm interested in the 20 single shot. Hows it look rust wise? I have an old 20 gauge crack barrel, but it has no safety. My son is almost 4 and have been looking around.

It is in great shape, no rust, and I was using just a few weeks ago, burning some old 20ga shells I had while training lab in the rice fields. This is a very short stock, If he is a big kid, it won't last long. That's why I am selling it, all my kids grew out of it, but it fit them well at the time. Gun was purchased at G&H Seed, so they could probably order another stock for it if needed.

N O T!!!!!!, that gun isn't going anywhere!!!! It dropped another deer this past Saturday at the hands of my 15y/o for the youth weekend. 85gr Federal JHP took out the heart, lungs and dropped her where she stood like a bad habit! No damage to the meat, clean kill, no tracking, and all with a gun that won't send you to the dentist to get your cavity replaced....I don't like those big calibers for deer and think alot of guys loose deer from flinching while waiting for the mule kick of a 300mag or even the new short mags! Overkill has its drawbacks! Anything over a .308 is overkill in my humble opinion on our deer here in La., now if I were in Canada or Michigan where 300# deer are the norm, then a 30-06 or heavy 7mm Mag would be my choice. But you obviously know that little rifle and I can tell you I am selling that Weatherby listed here to get another .308 just like that .243 we are discussing right now. Easy to carry, short, accurate, and fine tuning w/ trigger job is easy!

Yep Chas, that's it! Many a woodducks & teal made it to my table from my boys shooting on the water with that gun. I got several "first duck" pictures from that little thing, just hate to see it collecting dust. It's not like I want to hold on to it for any reason. If it was a big investment like what they shoot now, then it would wait to be passed on to the grandkids one day. These things are cheap, so why not let some other little one use it so mom & dad don't have to buy a gun, cut the stock, and go through all the crap it takes to get them out in the field.

Yup! I love a short action! If they just made that Ruger Compact in left hand!!!!! 7mm-08 is the ticket! I have just over 160 whitetails under my belt. Approx. 50 with a bow & out of the 110+ at least 75 have come with 7mm-08 & the rest with .308, I was just kiddin ya, I knew you wouldn't part with it!

Fin...yes I want the 20 gauge. pm me for details on how to hook up.

Finfeatherfur · #11 10-16-2009, 10:54 AM

The .20 ga is sold, pending funds, still have a .270 and 12ga up for sale.

I have dropped the price on the 12ga to $125 since I pulled it out and looked at it. It is more of a pirogue or camp gun. Still functions flawlessly, but it has seen its better days in the cosmetic department.

I need to move the Weatherby so I can order my new gun! Come on guys, someone needs a deer rifle! Scoped out, sighted in, and ready to hunt. I even have some rounds to go with the gun!
