I will google it. That area and the "thumb" are the few areas of Michigan I have yet to hang out in.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

If it's the shop I'm thinking of, I've been there (Bob's). He seems to specialize in the very nice stuff (read "expensive"). Even his not-so-nice stuff is expensive. Saw him at the Midland show too.
Jays gets in some decent stuff occasionally. That's where I saw the guild gun (Dakota 10 in 35 Whelen). They are high-priced too. They currently have a Marlin 45-70 levergun for over a grand unless somebody bought it in the last couple weeks.
Our God reigns.
Harrumph!!!
I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.

safari,
Ruger #1s are definitely nice! I own a couple. The differences are subtile, I admit, but they are definitely there. IMO, the advantages of the Dakota 10 include lighter weight, nicer stock design, particularly in the grip area, and a simpler lever. They just ooz class. How can one define that? I just want one, that's all there is to it.
Same here. I've got a few ( 5 of the 6 I've managed to sneak into the house )... ![[Linked Image]](http://i40.tinypic.com/s2z24w.jpg) All varmint calibers - I try to treat them like royalty, but they've all got minor dings & scratches from hunting ( coyotes to ground hogs to pigeons to prairie dogs ). I love a nice single shot.

I have fantasized about being in the position of being asked on television: "Now that you have won the lottery, what are you going to do now?" In my fantasy I answer: "I'm off to buy a Dakota Model 10." This is what it looks like

Wow you are an expert smuggler. Those are beautiful sgt. Mine are pretty plain in comparison but I like them a lot. I just insure the 280 and it makes lots of trips every year. No use owning them if you aren't going to use them.
