Didn't realize they were going to have a Weatherby Vanguard .223 carbine on sale for $299. I walked away, REALLY, I did! This afternoon my wife goes, "Why didn't you put that on layaway?" So, to honor my wife's request, I did. It will be my first .223 and the only sub 7mm I have in the safe. Should be a fun one to shoot.

Damn, I have one like that sitting unfired in the safe (too many projects, too little time) and I'm pretty sure I'd have been walking out with one or two of them...
