Well the Ol Sports Afield got into mountain bikin and other artsy fartsy crap and they needed to go under. I got out of most of the hunting rags just becasue they have gone a little fruity in some respects. As far as doing the gun over...well it was his gun...and he gets to write off the cost of doing it because it was a subject of a magazine article(ask Rocky...but I don't think he can write it all off). I don't mess too much with older guns..but I love to buy 'em. Just bought me an old Remington 31 pump....neat gun..even with the factory cutts. Solid rib gun, too!
Just an observation LR but it seems as though most of the shooters of today..never learned how to shoot anyway(Don't y'all fire at me now...I said most). I have a friend that has a penchant for buying guns(he bought a Bushmaster Varminter yesterday...Neat gun). The only thing I can't understand... he will only buy new guns(at new prices). He said he doesn't want "used" guns. Now this is a shooter of today. My reply to him??? Every gun he has is a used gun..so what's the big deal? Really shut him up, too
Oh...and I also bought me a nice shiny new Ruger 77/22 Hornet. I know it is new...but I couldn't find a decent Winchester 43.
Hope that young'un has a really great Christmas as well as you too Lilred
