I went out to the swap meet today with the intent of selling a supernumerary Bushmaster that I had taken in trade. I have my eye on a really nice heavy barreled 25-06 over at the local gun store, and wanted to cash them out on it.
To make a very long and convoluted set of trades, deals, and other shenanigans short:
After trading into and out of some handguns, a gen-set welder, and some tools, I ended up with a brand new Ruger #1 Tropical in .458 Win Mag, some ammo, a new SCUBA tank with regulator and some "extra" cash.
I am still not sure as to how this all happened, but hey, now I have an Elephant gun.
Wheeeee!
Too bad we are short on Elephants here this season...
I think I want to rechamber it in either .460 G&A or .460 Weatherby. Might as well go all the way now.
Please see my thread on that topic and give me your suggestions.
Now, how the heck do I get my hands on that 25-06?
