At my age I don’t go by the gun shops very often simply because I don’t want to be tempted to buy something I don’t really need. Although I have everything I will ever need I could still be tempted beyond my ability to resist. I say this because a friend and I stopped by one of the local gun shops a few weeks back and I saw a rifle that really caught my fancy. I am a sucker for old west stuff and they had a Winchester 1886 that I took a likin’ to. Over the past couple of weeks that rifle has stuck in my mind.
The wife and I went to the Sweetwater Rattle Snake Roundup today. Not really for the snakes but because the wife likes to go to the huge arts and grafts fair they always have, I go for the gun and knife show, and we both enjoy the food venders. Me going to the gun and knife show only reinvigorated my interest in the 1886 rifle I had seen several days before. The photo is proof positive that I finally came to my senses and realized I really needed that rifle.
