That was my thought! :yike:

I thought that maybe the $50k was just the reserve price. That's actually what it's up to with 112 bids!

Post by: actionshooter on January 17, 2013, 07:08:35 PM: :dunno: Whats the big deal?
Thats the SHOT show gun... Its for charity. They aren't buying the gun, they are buying the prestige of winning the auction. If I remember right, last year it was a 100 year aniversary 1911 that went for $80K.

Usually a large corp wins the auction and the gun ends up in the CEOs office or the company lobby.
