Should I kick myself?
« on: May 18, 2012, 10:20:37 AM »
Garage sale, handi 45-70 + 30 factory rounds, excellent condition.
Asking $125.
I passed it up (having no idea what these rifles are worth).
Should I be kicking myself.

Yep...really hard... you missed a dandy.  Heck, factory ammo is $1+ each any more that has the rifle under $100.

You should be glad that you did not buy the Handi !Not only because it was a terrific bargain that would make you ashamed of yourself for taking advantage of someone, but because it would be the start of an addiction that is nearly impossible
 to stop! ;D

If you use Handi and $125.00 in the same sentence, the Handi should already be in your hands. Yes, please give yourself a swift kick in the seat, and remember this next time. ;D
