Saw a few 16's, most were pumps and autos. A nice Sweet 16 with a short stock. Saw a Nitro and a Fulton, both in nice shape (the Fulton was probably nicer) in the $500-$550 range. Nothing I couldn't live without. Saw 525Field there but he was buyinga rifle  !

Dennis,
I bought a 20ga Stevens years ago from that guy; he seems like a good fellow and his prices are pretty reasonable compared to most. That Marlin is a beauty; have fun with it!
I thought long and hard about a little Stevens Favorite I saw; I've always wanted one, and Bill Headrick's article in the last DGJ whetted my appetite. Not much condition but an OK price. That's always the problem I guess; I'm not willing to pay the "high condition" prices, and there're not many "deals" at these shows any more. In the end I decided to hold out for a better one.
I went home with a buttplate I needed for a Fox Model B, and a bottle of Old West Snake Oil; total expenditures, $19.00  .

picked up some of that snake oil myself,made that old marlin look great.
what did you think about that sweet 16 with the short stock for 995.00, that guy is just down in burtton and i was jus wondering if you would put a stock on that if you would go overboard on price ?
oh well something to thik about
