Well, I figure I am off the hook, as I already have one of those, and I told him as much. Told him how much I liked it and all, but I just wish it was the fancy one with high grade wood and checkering. Right about then he sets the hook...
"This one is the fancy checkered model. It's a trade-in, but was never fired. You wanna see it?"
Is a four-pound Robin fat? Of course I want to see it! Sure enough, it's just what I like with fancy wood, crescent buttplate, checkering, and a takedown to boot! It was reasonably priced at $1,495, and I hated to hand it back to him. I said I'd have to think on it and talk to the wife. I drove the two miles home, whined to the wife how I just had to have it, I know they will cut me a better deal, dear, and lucky me, she gives the OK! I was back at the shop within a half hour and got it for $1,400 out the door. Of course, this being California, I have to wait ten days to really take it out the door, so no pictures yet.
I do have a picture of a fun little project I got not long ago that will keep me busy for awhile. Guns are not my only vice.......
