Wow what a surprise...........

[hightime]

I've been dirt poor all summer. I put a Winchester Legacy tang safety on layaway. Like new in box 30-30. I though a good deal $599. I thought I'd have no trouble paying for it. Heck I couldn't keep up with the bills. Normally they wouldn't wait this long for someone to pay off a gun. They have been patient , but I felt worried about loosing it. I found another $100 today. I thought if I paid them another bit It would help. They said it was tagged paid in full. What the heck? They wouldn't tell me who paid for it. I was shocked. It took me a while, then I wondered if my son had paid it. I called him and he said yes. He came to town last Fri. and paid it. A birthday and Christmas present he said.
I could cry.

Amen. I love buying guns for my son, he lets me shoot them some, and usually buys me one back... someday, he'll have a passel of 'em!

That's an instant family heirloom! Ya raised your boy right. His son will own that rifle one day in the future.

Kids, what would we do without them. Seems you raised a fine one. Congrats.

That's a story to keep a fella humble.

One of life's valuable lessons to be learned in there somewhere.

Your son is a good man.

Thanks to you guys too for understanding what a big deal this is to me. I actually thought I'd loose that rifle. My son lives several hours away and had to plan to do this. He also came with his family to a family reunion this Sat. at our cabin. I didn't get wind of this until last night at the bait shop.
