lanning on buying three more firearms before we move in the next few weeks. I'm taking a job that pays alot less than I'm making and so is my wife. Money isn't everything and we've decided we'd rather spend the rest of our lives in beautiful country.
Im pretty much outfitted with all the toys I need but I want to buy another back up rifle, cheap over and under and rimfire. I went to local Sportsman's and they are out of what I'm looking for and don't even carry the 555.
I travel in the Williston areas within 3 hours north, south, east and west of there on a regular basis. Actually got a lot of work going on around Fairview and Sidney. If anybody reading this is a small time FFL or owns a tiny shop I'd like to give you my business aslong as you don't try to retire on transaction with inflated price tags.
Might as well help an individual out and besides I'm a little irratated with three recent shortcomings at Williston's Sportsman's Warehouse.
What I want: TIKKA T3 stainless super lite in 260 or a Howa Alpine. Maybe both at some point but preferred the Tikka now. Maybe another Swede, but this time in stainless. Having owned three different Tikkas in different cartridges I love them, but their bluing is the only thing I dislike. My 243 and swede started rusting first season I bought them and I'm a pretty anal shoot and clean same day kind of guy. None of my other firearms since I was a kid have ever rusted. I love the stainless t3 lite 7mm 08
Next one is a CZ 455 17 HMR
Third, Savage 555 20 gauge I just bought the 12 gauge version and love it.
I'd like to order all three same time and give you half the money up front and other half when they come in. If any of you western montucky fellas have a local dude in mind let me know. I'm in Fairview and Sidney areas every week along with Watford city area as wellas Williston and Tioga areas.
Thanks

If you strike out with the locals, PM shortactionsmoker. He can probably fix you up.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

I was told they did, but after researching farther tonight now I don't know. If they didnt, I'd go for a t3 lite stainless then in either 260, Creedmoor or Swede. Samething with Howa Alpine. Either manufacturer in one of those three cartridges I'll jump on
I'd prefer Tikka though

Thanks fellas
If both deals go through I will no longer be looking for a Tikka or cz.
For the record in my research they do not make a 260 in super lite yet. But hopefully I'm a soon to be owner of a superlite in 308.

By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
