What kinda thief am I??

[bagdadjoe]

I picked up a Handi .223 pallet wood with a Bushnell 4x12 and plastic hard case for ......$175!!  last weekend...  I couldn't believe it.  It was absolutely in new condition minus the box.  The fellow is a LEO and said he bought it about 10 years ago and just don't shoot it.  I'll take care of that problem.  It's a 1-12 twist so it'll be my "big" varmint rifle...my lit'lin is a Hornet.  I've heard about deals like this, but I never was able to wrangle one for myself.

Good Job!!!! That's a great price for that. I know you'll love it's accuracy.

Good luck,
Grizz

to answer u question... the finest kind !!!
that big'un will be fun, but doan ferget that lit'lin......

That LEO didn't lock you up for stealing that thing     It's hard to believe an officer would let go of a .223......much less, not use it.  Thinking about it, they're more involved with firepower.  More rounds per minute, and how much magazine capacity.  They need to get back to the principle of one aimed shot.

Thinking of that, our snipers can take an insurgent out at a mile.....but ya know, that guy has a wife and kids at home too.  The whole damned thing is just stupid.  Human beings need to sit down and talk....work it out......not kill each other.

That is a good deal, and I know the feeling.

I passed up a good deal on Handi in the past and mainly I just didn't know any better and wasn't very well versed in Handimania back then, but I found a good deal last week and jumped on it with both feet.

I'm having a blast with my new little CC45LC and have started working up loads for it, and it's a dream to shoot.

Trust me your .223 will be the same way and it will be happy it's found a loving home!

[Land_Owner]

I'll give you $175 for JUST the rifle and you can keep the scope and hard cover.  Deal?

If illiteracy, poverty, hunger and STUPIDITY were eliminated, we would be talking literature, rice, beans, mathematics, science, and Art here instead of guns and ammunition.

I'll always hunt and shoot regarless of what the rest of the world is doing........I'll be right here talking about guns.  Mine aren't defensive or offensive.  They're not meant for humans.  They're here for fun and recreation and to put some meat in the freezer.

Bagdadjoe.......you gotta change that handle to Bagdadbandit

[bagdadjoe]

"Thief of Bagdad"??  Didn't I see that movie when I was a kid?? Abracadabra..open sez me and all that stuff?   
Well, that kinda makes up for the times when I had to dish out a good deal to someone else.  I still hate I sold my 375 Big Bore Winchester...my 1885 Browning...my Valmet 78..and all the other stuff to buy black beans and rice....'sall right..at least I still have a job during this "downturn"..so far.  A lot of our bros and sis's don't.

Congrats on your theft, er, I mean, yer great find!   Always warms a guy up when he lands a great deal like that.  Now whatch'a lookin for?   DP

[HogFan]

Congrats on the "steal" or find I shoudl say. I got a fair price on one from my father in-law last weekend, as we have been helping my mother in-law out a lot while he was in the hospital, and he told her to give my wife the money back for the rifle. She was not having it one bit. You have to know her mother, but I think this hospitlization really changed her father. He was given a second chance at life, and is doing well I am happy to say. Either way, we are both happy on the deal, and if he ever wants to use it, he knows where it's at.

Were you wearing a mask at the time and pointing a firearm in his general direction to seal the deal? If not, then you just made a deal none of us would have passed up ethier. However, if you were doing the former, I'd hide if I were you.
