Was there always something back in your youth that you wanted but finances wouldn't permit it and all you could do was lust and take second best but now that you're older and have more money you find it's gone and no longer being made?
That's exactly what happened to me. Back in the early 70's I was working part time in a print shop and trying to finish up college at the same time. I got a late start so wanted to finish soon as possible. There was the Remington 40X-BR in .222 Remington I wanted so bad but couldn't afford it and the super Unertl scope I felt necessary for it. Now that I can, it's no longer available and hasn't been for some time. Supposedly the 6PPC has overshadowed the .222 and you're even hard pressed to find a decent rifle in that caliber anymore. Makes a man want to cry.
