and didn't buy a gun. Thought shortactionsmoker was gonna have a heart attack!

Fondled one of the newer Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunters in 6.5 creedmoor, in Natural Gear camo. Almost bit....

Since I am still shooting the M70 varmint rifle I ordered new in 1957 and have a good battery of guns I just look at them in the shops.

If I see one even nicer than what I have I might buy.

Here is a current favorite used in fair weather. It's a 30-06 on a dwm mauser with an octagon barrel.

He'll be back and I know he'll buy something.....he has store credit from trades!

And he did buy powder, bullets and some Yeti stuff. It's not like he got out the door for free!

I still get new guns there sometimes, but they really used to hammer me when the used rifles were listed online! Always nice to deal with. There's probably 4-5 of my favorite rifles that came off their used rack, sight unseen.....

I've been trying to respond to this, but keep getting redirected..

Anyway, we now have a dedicated programmer. You'll see changes in our website within the next month or so. One of the biggest changes -- used guns!

We'll have a complete list with a picture and description. You'll be able to purchase them online. There will be a slight delay when processing the order to verify a customer in the store doesn't have it in his/her hands. We'll be able to provide confirmation within an hour. It's going to be pretty neat. A little different than other sites with used guns online.

Another neat feature -- along with the "notify me" button like other websites, we'll have a special tab for a "wish list".

The wish list will be available for new and used guns. Collectors will really like that option.....

Good for business and internet cruisers, but I can tell you your local & walk-in customers aren't going to like it. Nationwide competition pretty much kills finding a "gem" on the racks. I rarely find anything of interest at my LGS anymore since they went to online selling. It's all spoken for before it even makes it to the shelf.

Any plans to provide some sort of lawyer consultation to help your customers with the increases in divorce this may cause? I may need it depending on what used guns come in!
