I had an interesting experience at Cabela's in Montana today.
They had a very high condition Winchester 23 Heavy Duck on the pre-owned rack there, manufactured in the mid-80's (?) in Japan. I've watched them slash the price on it since I first noticed it about six months ago.
Well I bought it today for just a bit over $1K. Part of the reason they were willing to deal is it has genuine ivory bead sights. Does it? According to the manager there, Cabelas has a new policy to not buy any guns, new or used, with ivory sights, grips or inlay. Apparently they won't even advertise one already in their inventory online in their Gun Library because they refuse to ship ivory interstate now as well.
So look for what they have in stores dressed with ivory, realizing you might be able to dicker a little harder than usual....
