Thank you for not buying my rifle #6716964 07/26/12

OP TXbluelacy Campfire Regular T Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 863 Kingwood, Texas	Just want to thank everyone for not taking an interest in my probably-over-priced Ruger No. 1 Boddington series Lion. I had put it up for sale in a fury of infatuation over a 270 Accumark. I went to buy it yesterday (and worry about the financial consequences later) and found that the condition of the rifle had been misrepresented. I walked out, drove home, and hugged my Lion. Had I sold my rifle before seeing that Accumark, I'd still be crying and kicking myself in the ass. To other folks I might ask them for an intervention the next time I was about to sell one I shouldn't, but for this crew...well, isn't that how most of us score the nice ones? Happy hunting! ...on earth as it is in Texas.

Your welcome! I have two rules for guns: 1. The gun I'm buying must be made in the USA. 2. Never again will I sell a gun, I did that once and regret it to this day. Glad things worked out for ya.
