Howa 243
« on: October 02, 2010, 11:25:18 AM »
Made the mistake of going back into my favorite "Candy Store" again today to have Jim mount the Remington 2 piece ring-base set and bore sight the Weaver 3-9 scope for me.  Sale is still going on, only no more really cheap Howas.  But, they are selling them for $399.99 still.  One of my sons has a flinch and I saw a 243 stainless just like the 22-250 I bought 2 days ago, trigger has some creep so told em to put it back.  Jim sent one of the guys to the warehouse to bring out a couple more and had me take my pick.  He set this trigger to 3# 2 oz. for me and threw in the same ring-base set for free and 2 boxes of Fed blue box 100 gr.  All I gotta do is stay outa there the rest of today and tomorrow and the sale will be over.  Maybe then reason will come back to me and I won't buy any more guns for a while. ::)  DP

Does your wife know about your sweet tooth?

She knows and even calls me up when she sees "candy" at garage sales.  She has gotten me some pretty sweet deals in guns and reloading gear.  Man, did I get a great woman or what! :-*  DP
