I'm pretty sure you have that one (or three) guns somewhere at your place that have been used and or abused. Maybe it was grandpa's old rifle that you pulled out of his garage and it was rusted but still shot. Maybe it's the shotgun that sits behind the barn door. I'd gather that these guns aren't worth more than $100 or so. But they serve a purpose and do it well.
Today I brought home the .22 bolt action that my dad had as a young teenager. He upgraded to a semi-auto with a scope as iron sights are just too fuzzy at his age. It's a J.C. Higgins. It's not in horrible shape but it spent many years in non-climate controlled rooms, ready to pick off a critter. It has basic iron sights. But this thing shoots. Really good. I was hitting a 3"x 6" plate at 100 yards just sitting at a bench. I even did it standing a few times.
So lets see your beaters. If they have a story to them, tell us. Pictures are a bonus!
