That is better than money in the bank. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

What to do! I would have no problem saying no. Six hundred forty nine dollars still buys quite few bags of quality groceries. Since you do not need another rifle by buying one you're basically throwing your money away.

M98, Rem725, and two Ruger 77s. They are likely better than my 500 yard limit. True, they are all beat up and/or ugly! The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

They also seem very sought after so I know its a rifle I'll be able to make money on in the future if I so ever choose which I doubt I will. Shod The 6.5 Swede, Before Gay Was Ok
