New to me .22 from Robertsons Trading Post, Henderson, TN

Picked up an import T-bolt 144 from Robertson Trading Post while on a visit there with a fellow TGOr. It was in the "has to see the doctor rack." I always wanted a T-bolt 144. I walked out the door shedding 300.00 for the 144. Took it home and tossed the poorly fittted 10 rd mag and it didn't look like those sold by Havlins. I took this: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/39430A and made it into a single shot. It has a spot welded globe front sight, Parker Hale brass aperture holder under the grip. S130 rear sight. Several missing items like all hardware for hand stop, no sling, etc. I ran about 20 patches through the barrel. I slapped some poly on the stock and Birchwood Casey bluing on the barrel and receiver. Just to see what it would do I put some high rings on it to clear the rear sight and put on a cheap Tasco Varmint.

Using Fiocchi SV LRN it was boringly accurate off a Caldwell front rest and squeeze rear bag at 25 yrds. So I cranked up the magnification and started to shoot 2" saltines at 185 yrds using Federal Automatch. It got so that I could hit about 1 cracker out of 3 shots, so I smiled and bagged the 144 for another day.

Robertson's is open to the public?  I thought they closed their storefront and sold strictly online.

That’s kinda what I thought.  Been there twice making a major detour from the Knoxville to Memphis route.  First time was drooling over a massive collection of sweet S&W revolvers.  Second time was buying an 870 Police Magnum.  A Jackson TN or MS cop trade in.  Parkerized with wood stock.  It’s sweet.

You have to call ahead and tell them the gun/gun’s you want to see and they will have them out for when you show up, there is no store front it is pretty much a warehouse setup.  No random walk-in.

Do they have a website?  I've never heard of them, but I don't venture past Nashville very often.  Actually went to Bowling Green last week for a meeting and went via Carthage.  Very pleasant drive.  But I digress from the topic at hand. :)

But look them up on Gun Broker.  That is where they post all their inventory.

I checked their website out and I like the looks of their stuff!  But I couldn't find them on Gun Broker.  I searched Seller under Robertson, Robertson's, Robertson Trading Post and Robertson's Trading Post.   Am I searching right?
