Not a single one for me. Can't seem to find a single one around here to even consider. Would like a 1892 but I don't think they were that common in this state back in the day they were being bought new.

Can find most anything you'd like and most of the time at a better price than found locally. Just find a good dealer that doesn't mind doing transfers and doesn't charge an obscene fee. There is a large dealer here that overcharges on everything and tried to sell me on a $75 or 5% value of firearm whichever is higher transfer fee. I took my business elsewhere.

Nothing old school, but did get a NIB FN Model 70 coyote light 22-250. Nice rifle.

Well 2014 I picked up a new haven ss synthetic in a 7wsm
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Let us know how it shoots. I got one as well and put it in a McMillan EDGE and PT&G bottom metal. I got some 150gr BTs loaded up to try in it tomorrow.

A model 12 and a model 94, both made in 1954. Neither would be special to anyone but me, but I wanted them because I was born that year.
Thank our servicemen and women for their sacrifices.
Thank John M. Browning for his firearms inventions.

I picked up a nice 1892 SRC in 32WCF, excellent condition. I sold a Winchester Garand then immediately regretted it! Fortunately, I was able to find another made in 1943 and jumped at the chance to buy it!

Early in the year I bartered with the local Cabela's Gun Library and grabbed a Stainless Classic in 300 Wby.
Mid-year I made it a point to order and receive a M70 Classic Fwt in 7x57 - the 2013 SHOT Show gun. Kinda goes hand -in-hand with the 2012 SHOW Show gun in .257 Roberts.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
