    I found these, pretty interesting:

    They seem to go from 1955 to at least 1966. The prices and availability of surplus rifles are awesome. Keep in mind though $1 in 1955 is $9.04 today. So a $90 Remington 721 in 1955 = $813 today.

    Thanks for posting! In the first magazine there's a photo that puts provenance to the long held rumor that Russians used WWI surplus Ross MKIII rifle actions in their running deer competition rifles. Clear as day!

    I like the article on the Nylon 66, "Rifle for the Space Age", one is in the safe.

    Sgt. York is always a good read.
