And most of the parents wouldn't know the difference anyway I'm sure.

A friend of mine talked me out of a pretty nice 223AI (mcmillan pacnor seekins rings etc) with a compact nxs scope on it. He showed the rifle to some guys at work and they thought for the money he could have bought a brand new rifle and got a Leupold or Nikon scope too!

Pretty sure those fellas would say you could buy 3 buck knives for 150....haha

Very cool thread and good on you fellas for the teaching and offers.
