Title: help me out if you can
Post by: sweetlou on October 02, 2011, 10:07:31 AM: I have a Centurion Arms .243. made my Golden State Arms and cannot find any information on it. It was my "biological" grandfathers, and he didn't tell me anything about it. if anyone knows what it might be worth let me know. I don't want it, i'd rather have a newer gun. If interested let me know. I've only shot it a couple times and its a great gun, just don't want it.

Exactly. A 30-06 just sold at a local gun shop, with scope and sling for around $250, I think. Good rifles, for a guy wanting to get into a rifle and not have to mortgage the house or sell a kid.

Throw it up on the classifieds here. Put some good pictures up and I'll bet it moves pretty fast.
