Glad I'm here to get sloppy seconds! Bootiful rifle Jim!

For a guy with a new rifle, what does it take to make you smile?

HAPPY day, Jim. For both of us. I got my #3 Sporter 45-90 today, too. Just as beautiful as your fine looking rifle.
I'll post a few pics tomorrow . . .

"The Ghost and The Darkness" I like it. Two very nice rifles and coincidentally I was thinking about both a Sharps rifle (I've decided I need one but haven't managed to think up a way to tell SWMBO) and that movie today. I want to get a copy of the movie to show my kids, plus I haven't seen it in years and it's worth watching.

hmmm don't look like a buffler rifle to me
more like a POG rifle, pizzed off grizzly
can like the names you've chosen for them
but I'll give you fair warning Jim, don't be posting no targets with holes close together, hell I have a paper punch too (how do you think I get them good groups)
just haul azz up here and I'll let you know if it's a shooter, well after the smoke clears.
nice set you got there
take pride Jim, not often a man will get to hear that phrase from me

maarty--You DO need one. These things call to some of us in no uncertain terms, and I have several of them, in fact.
Simply tell the wife you have been wanting a Shiloh for quite some time, and have decided to get it. Then order it. If she kicks, tell her to get over it, and make it stick. Some things are worth fighting over if you have to, and winning. This is one of those things.
