yesterday was my retired machinist buddy's 45th aniversary, & MRS Machinist asked me if I could help get him "out of the house" so the 4 of us went to Cabellas then out for supper ( he's kind become a home body over the last couple years )
while my buddy & I were walking through the gun section ( the only secion he has any interest in any more ) we did the slow walk through the used rifle section... most of what we looked at was over priced, then we came upon a custom new model Steven Favorite, that was a take down, with a shorter untapered barrel, with a silver "finish" applied to all the metal parts... it was wearing an old 3/4" 4X 22 scope that screamed "I got put on when they traded me in"
the price was close to $200.00... which we both though was pretty reasonable... I didn't want to sound too interested in case he wanted it, but I really groove on the old style single shots, & someone had spent some good money & or time making this one into a neet little survival rifle...
I've got so many project going right now, that I don't really have the cash for it... I have enough Cabellas points to get the rifle for free... but have told my self that I wouldn't use those points until I had enough for a free S&W 500...
thoughts ???
