A terrible thing happened

[Ditchdigger]

I terrible I know, I was in a pawn shop yesterday,and low and behold there was a rifle that caught my eye. The bad thing about it was it was not a Handi,it was a Marlin 444S with the barrel cut back to 16.25",a homemade guide gun. It had a $189 price tag on it,and I was having a very weak moment at the time.So I asked what he would take for it out the door,and he replied $180. So now I have 2 444's , 445,44mag,and a 45 70. The other bad thing is ,I shot it today and it shoots very good,so I'll probably have to keep it to.   :roll:  :roll:   Digger

[Badnews Bob]

Don't ya hate it when that happens, and ya gotta keep it too! Man murphys all over you. :wink:

[marv]

Digger You need to stay out if the pawn shop and go back to the truck stop.  No wonder I can not get a gun :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D
 Marv.

[Ditchdigger]

Hey Marv; Thats how I bought the gun. Those sweet lady truckers said I needed the gun,and they would gladlly pay for it ,for a favor of course. :-D  :-D  Digger

[marv]

Digger you are full of BS as a turkey        
 Marv. PS Here you are letting it rain again  

[Ditchdigger]

Marv; Nope I thought it was your doing a rain dance or something.Digger :-D  :-D

[Haywire Haywood]

:mrgreen: I like short barreled rifles....How much ya want for it Digger? hehehhe Come on you and lik2hunt get all the cool stuff from ya'lls pawn shops...

I wish we had a pawn shop like that around here. Here they have all given up on guns and just have a bunch of crap that crack heads have sold for just enough to buy a rock. I don't even go in and look any more.

[ratherbefishin]

these things all seem invilve ''2 part'' decisions-[1]do I really need another gun?[easy] and [2] explaining to the Keeper of the Chequebook why I really needed another gun[ bit more dificult]
 And, the more ''good deals'' I find, the thiner the explanation sounds,matter of fact she is now asking me why she shouldn't make somebody else as happy as I am , by giving them an equally ''good deal''?

[Ditchdigger]

I shot the marlin short barrel today without earmuffs,and it really was'nt that bad.I had a 3 shot group of 1" when on the 4th shot the BSA scope decided enough of this,and self destructed. Going to try a Weaver K4W tomorrow,and see if it blows up. This was with factory ammo also ,and recoil was'nt bad either. Not to bad for 100 yds. shooting. Digger

Ditch;

Sounds like you got a winner. And whoever did cutting down on the barrel, must have known what they were doing. GOOD SHOOTING!
What factory load are you shooting?

[Ditchdigger]

I was shooting the Rem.240 gr.ammo. It really suprised me in the accurcy department,and I'll chrono the loads when it quites raining. Digger

[De41mag]

Ditch;

You gonna bring that rifle to the PD Shoot in June?  :eek:

If I've still got it,a guy offered me $275 for Sat.. I could load some XTP 180's ,and that should really blow them up.  Digger
