My little one shouldered a few things and made me realize she could handle and normal stock. Ended up going to SW and getting a pink Hougue for her 10/22. Then shot all morning Sunday. I reckon that was worth the $11.
Those shows are the same old guys in the same old chairs telling the same old stories trying to sell the same old crap.
It's like a time warp.
I wonder if most gun shows are like that. I've seen some of the same rifles show after show after show.
That said, I have found a few good and a few very good deals over the years. I figure it is like elk hunting - time in the field count for a lot. You rarely shoot elk from your campsite at the KOA in town.
That said, I've pretty much stopped going to gun shows unless I need something specific like powder that I can't find elsewhere. Back when H4350 was $225 at the local gun shops I found it for $180 at the Tanner show. (Denver)
