Sometimes a person is forced to buy something just because... I was visiting a friends shop that had received several guns to sell to clear an estate. There were some very nice Colts and high end Winchester lever guns... those while very nice, were beyond my meager budget. My friend understood, smiled and said, there were other items that were easier on the wallet. He pointed me to the corner behind the door. I found three guns, one shotgun, a combination rifle and a sporter that were priced. This rifle was the first that caught my eye... the claw mount Hensoldt scope and inlayed floorplate and scroll worked checkering were the first things to catch my eye.. upon closer inspection, it was marked "Helmut Dinger Kaiserslautern" on the barrel. Cal. .270. Then I looked at the price tag... $200. I set it aside... that was a no-brainer. I've found similar rifles in auction results online. The other two pieces I left with were a Flaig's Ace Combination rifle.. .12ga / .222. The bonus was that it came with 350 rounds of factory .222. The last, a Beretta A- 303.

nice rifle with even better scope and now you know who not to have handle your estate.

$200 ! When was that 1975?
