3 times a year I take a weekend, a full tank of gas, and pocket full of cash and make a wide circuit through a series of small town hardware / sporting good stores. There I find all manner of used firearms - some trash, some plastic, but most are well cared for wood stocked rifles.
Most of time it results in just a drive through some nice country, but every so often I come across some gems that cash will move small mountains.
Been doing this for so long that some owners/managers will give me a heads up when something special comes along...
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
