Went to the local candy store and spotted a 10 ga smoothbore with adjustable sights and a nice monte carlo stock sitting in the used rack. Walked over to the reloading section to grab some powder when a young man walked in snatched the 10 ga up and went right to the counter to purchase it. Price tag was whopping 95$ out the door!!

Wouldve made a nice slug gun when we do deer drives late in the season.

Don't feel bad, 6 months ago I held a near perfect straight stock 410 at a pawn shop that I could have walked out with for less than $75 and for some reason I decided to "think about it". The next day it was gone. Like you, I learned my lesson.

It happens to all of us sooner or later. I've kicked myself more than once for letting one slip away.

We've all been there. I walked away from an old Worcester built 16 gauge Topper for $88. I went back to the shop the next day and it was gone.
