Steyr M-95

So I had one day off last week and decided to go out and see what normal people who work normal good paying jobs are up to. Drove around to different stores in the area and finally ended up at big five just to see what junked up surplus they were pawning to Joe public and that is when it happened. I already own one but hey nothing wrong with two, I spotted a Steyr M-95 Austrian carbine. Upon closer inspection this rifle is very cherry which is unusual for big five if you read about my 303 enfield incident with another big five blog. So this time I have more knowledge and really gave that rifle a true and through inspection I just couldn't believe it this thing was really cherry all matching numbers even the stock matched and the stock has no visible dings or dents and the bore looks really shiny and it only has a light coat of cosmoline on it. The price was 179.00, but I knew that was way marked up since in shotgun news they were usually priced around 80.00 which is what I paid for my other steyr about three years ago (which was ordered out of shotgun news by a friend). So I told the lady that the price seems kind of high and she said let me make a call. A minute later she turned to me and said we will sell it for 89.00 Sold American and I am now the proud owner of another steyr m-95 now all I have to do is clean it up which is another story. Oh by the way it came with a bayonet which my first one did not, score.
