I'd say you were a lucky man if you had but one, yet, two that's a statement, great job.


Welllllll,

in all candor, I have three. It took me five years to find the 7-08 at the price I want to pay. I found the 308 Win at a bargain and the seller let me pay for it in two payments.

Here is the third.

A friend of mine passed a few years ago. He'd done well tote-noting used trailers (mobile homes) and selling surplus.
He and his son reconciled a short time before his passing. His son has kinda adopted me as a father figure and to a bit I've translated my luv of hunting and rifles to him. I'd been talking about finding a Merkel K1 in 9.3 x 74R, but didn't think I'd have the scratch at that moment. He saw it on GunBroker and snagged it, and let me pay it out.

I pull it out for the big nasty stuff........
