well, saw this rifle at Rigby
bought a new EDC knife
met Ivan Carter, walked past Jim Shockey a couple times, who was talking to bigwigs both times. picked up some brochures, handled several different cool rifles, saw a Field's Patent falling block rifle, which is really rare. Talked to a couple of custom gunmakers, and bought raffle tickets - none of which apparently won.
Sat in a Dodge Truck (which now costs as much as a comparable Ford) and sat in a 2017 Ford Raptor
Drove up from Houston Sunday morning, walked every aisle of the show, drove back home & arrived at 6:00pm. Used one tank of gas.
Seemed like a fine day to me.
