  1. I almost bought one from a guy for $700!!! You did good. I wish you all would wear a button or something so I'd know who you were.
  2. I enjoyed this show as much as any I've been to in years. The tables were a bit flea market, but there were some deals to be had walking around the show. I also had some very nice conversations with several gentlemen there. I sold a few, and picked up a nice Smith and Wesson Hand Ejector 4th change in 32-20, as well as a sweet Ithaca Flues Model 20 guage double. I passed on several more I wish I'd have purchased. I'll probably go back to the next one, and might even slip back down there tomorrow. Beat the heck out of a Goodman show if you ask me!!!
  3. Police yourselves, guys! Don't call for MORE regulation. I think this was a step in the right direction.
  4. I'd buy one for $100. Shouldn't be any problem to recoop your money if you have buyer's regret. A $100 gun is a very easy thing to sell.
  5. I'm suprised they finally updated their website to reflect the current law.
  6. Now theres something to brag about! Way to go.
  7. The problem I see with "trophy hunters" is that most of the ones I come in contact with are in competition with one another, and end up doing unethical and illegal things in order to get the biggest deer. This gives ALL hunters a bad name. I'd like these people purged from our rolls. If you hunt legally, this shouldn't offend you.
  8. Two young boys and a dull hatchet?
  9. I'll be on the Macon County side of the wall!
  10. I intend to be there on Sunday.
  11. Love it!!!
  12. I don't care for ARs, but my father ha a Colt HBAR Match, and he mounted a 2x7 Leupold Rifleman on it with good results.
  13. It isn't uncommon to come home and find a neighbor perched on my shooting bench.
  14. Whatever you get, please don't waste your money on a great big cheap scope and see thru rings!!
  15. We're planning to build a wall at the Sumner/Macon line if it looks like anything bad is going to happen.
  16. Welcome to the forum, Glock25. To answer your question, we try to be prepared for life in general, by living within our means, having an emergency fund, having a good supply of food, household supplies, fuel, etc. Not sure if you are a believer, but you'll find a lot of this advice in the Bible. It works pretty good even if there isn't a disaster. If you do any camping, you'll likely have a leg up on many items you'd find handy in a bad situation.
  17. Think Chevrolet versus GMC truck. Same thing made on the same assembly line, just different trim. Yes, they are quality guns.
  18. I once took the door panel off a 67 Chevy II Nova I had and found a chicken feather and an old beer bottle cap. Does that count?
  19. I don't have much faith in that scope mount setup. You could custom order those back in the day for pretty much whatever barrel length you wanted.
  20. What??!!? No jerky? The last show in Gallatin I attended, I saw a guy there selling gutters. I feel the promoters should draw a line somewhere.
  21. Paypal is antigun, but aside from that, they've been very good to me.
  22. Have you considered handloading and loading lighter loads for yourself? I'm afraid you won't find as much difference as you think between the 243 and 270 as far as recoil goes. I load some light rifle loads for my children. They still kill deer readily, but don't cause the boys to flinch. I don't load what I shoot especially hot either.
  23. Both have serviceable sights. The newer Winchesters are angle eject, so you can mount a scope on them. The older ones were top eject, and werent really designed for a scope. You will see some with hideous side mount scopes. Pretty much all the Marlins I'm aware of are side eject and are drilled and tapped for a scope. Putting a scope on one of these, however, is to me like putting cattle racks on a Ferrari.
  24. I think those guys live there! Pretty much the same guys standing in the way telling the same lies everytime I've ever been in there. Just ask them politely to move over.
  25. I was on the beach in Gulf Shores Alabama with my family. We knew nothing of it until we returned to our condo for my son to take a nap. He turned on the Cartoon Network, and I knew something was wrong when I saw Dan Rather on that channel. It was an eerie feeling to be hundreds of miles from home while our country was under attack. We really stuck with me was when they flew fighter jets up the beach in formation the next day; right overhead. I assume these jets came from the Naval Air Base in Pensicola. It sent chills up my spine. We were in a restuarant/bar the evening it happened, and I still remember everyone cheering at the president's speech. Strangers were actually talking to one another and even hugging one another. It felt as if everyone was your friend or brother. I wish that part would have lingered.
