I think these sort of prices, and it being so hard to find anything I want, even the reloading components and ammo, are finally curing me of being an accumulator.
I'm still a proud tinkerbell though! and that little crack would have normally been my under-priced ticket in! I never had the budget or attitude to be a real collector, so that's just the sort of rifle I've always looked for,. something unique that I can add value to by fixing.
As far as needing another shooter, with generations of hunting grounds getting cut up into building lots, and it getting hard to even find a place to run the dog and shoot squirrels, I might be aging out of my love of hunting too...
Anyone for an air-rifle silhouette shoot?
