Yep..had a visitor from back in Md out here..asked me how far the mountains were cause he'd like to go over and climb up on top.. Being from 30 ft in elevation I told him(he's a smoker) he might just get outta wind gettin to 'em..gettin to the top might take a backpack of O2 tanks for him.. bein high takes a bit of gettin used to..when i go hunting up at 8-9000 ft you just take yer time gettin around..

Gun show today I did ok.. walked in the door and a guy had a DPMS AR-10 for sale(people walkin round..not dealers. And a "tactical" 590 Mossberg with all kinds of crap on it..with 11 boxes of shells. Bought it for 250. 10 minutes later sold it for 300 and kept the ammo. Bought 5 sets of carbide pistol dies for 15 bucks each..All RCBS..one was a nice set of 30 carbine..2 cans of Trail boss Powder for 25 bucks. a can of BL C-2 for the same and one can of H380 for 10 bucks.. 2 Dillon Case feeder plates for 15 bucks. A RCBS stuck case remover for 5 bucks. 12 boxes of .355 Speer Gold Dot 125 gr bullets for 110. Bought 2 ghuns from a ghuy walkin around.. A stainless Encore handgun in 7mm-08 and one of the Ruger 10-22 based handguns with the bipod and scope etc. The Encore also was scoped..Bushnell 3200 2-6X..Got 'em both for 650. Guy I do some shows with wanted the Ruger so he got it for 275. Neither has been shot more'n 20 times. I got the 1st box of 7-08 ammo with 17 rounds of brass and 3 rounds.. Bought more stuff..little reloading stuff. Couple of Lee loaders. Bought a really nice S&W M-63 22 Kit gun(4 inch) for 475..traded it to a fellow I happen to know from Columbus Mt walkin round with a Colt AR-15 that had a mag Pul stock Forend some kinda fore grip add on a scope and a drop in match trigger and 3 Mag Pul mags. Paid him 300 to boot..but the AR will go next weekend. Got a kinda rough Weatherby bolt gun in 22-250..paid 250 for it with junk scope..going to a friend to refinish the stock.and I'm gonna redo the metal. I hate wood work. Made a bunch of re-connections and a friend at the show sold one of my guns..the Weatherby Vanguard 243..Made a 100 on it.. I also turned another friend on to a nice Winchester M-62A with a Marbles tang peep. Nice gun and he bought it for 575..not my cuppa tea any more All in all a good show for me today. Lot of dies etc there but not even one metallic reloading press...darn it
