guys sometimes things work out like yu wantthem too, i could tell you the whole long story but in a short version i traded for a buff classic yesterday and its set up like i wanted it to be , found it in the local paper couldnt believe it was even listed, all it said was wesson & harrington 45/70 well i go look and sure enough it is , but the guy this guy got it from in a trade changed the wood out to regular brand new striaght wood stock and got rid of the BC wood, so i tell him on the phone , i would like to see it ,but i didnt have 300bucks and he said come on over anyhow and take a peek , also if i had anything to trade bringit along so i throw in 2 mossberg 500's one 12 and one 20 both beaters but solid trade bait so i get there and shes just how i wanted to set one up for myself so we hackle and he finally says ill trade u both guns for the buff , i said hell yes deal , i may have lost a little but to me i gained a lot, just like new buff classic with the wood i would have put on if i ever did buy one , soo iam a proud buff owner finally its also gotthe williams peep and a brass beaded blade up front, stuck it outthe back door this afternoon an rang my 18 in steel dong out atthe 100 yd mark , good enough for me hahhah
