Sometimes I do a quick search on these old guns I've been hanging onto for the longest time before posting, and I a little shocked at this one.
I remember first seeing this gun in an 80's gun digest when I was a kid, and thought it was the coolest looking airgun ever. An underlever bolt action.
Fast forward 20 or so years and I acquired at least three. Two HR-81's and and a HR-83. I remember buying them in the $200 - $300 range 20 years ago. Sold the HR-81's.
There is even a wiki article on them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_HR-81
I then did a quick search on a value, and this is what I came up with: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1349639980.../+A5FFw4QXpPzg4ag8napXAiSf|tkp:Bk9SR-7SmbbgYw
1K for a Sterling? If only I held out for another 15 years on the other two!
Oh well, this one is minty. Shot the 81's, but not this one.
