After many months of work, this new higher-end gunshop in Conifer is finally open. I was up there today to meet a friend for lunch and get the final tour. A very nice mix of nicer 50s and 60s classics alongside many newer options. They have a good assortment of rifles, shotguns and handguns. Clearly, a significant effort was made to achieve an attractive environment and they have succeeded in spades. The doubles seemed to be mostly classic American, but nothing would surprise me there. They even have an assortment of classic 50s and 60s sub-gauge pump-guns (not something one sees much anymore) including a very early Remington 870 in 16 that weighed not much more than 6lbs. Well worth the trip. There were decent restaurant options available up there as well, with no need to sit outside. Made for an entertaining afternoon.

They sure didn't Stan. Can't be too-many of those floating around as yours is the only one I've ever encountered. It was fun to see classic American pump-guns displayed in a more "respectful" setting (for lack of a better description), certainly a first for me. A very nice Model 97 in 16-gauge was priced well over four figures. The times... they are a changing.

A Model 97 (or 1897) in 16 gauge for 4 figures?? You gotta be kidding. Must be a Trap or Black Diamond in 120% as new unfired condition. Sure would like to see fotos of that baby.
