I'm bummed , too many Handi's and too few dollars
« on: January 03, 2011, 08:54:50 AM »
Was out at the Lima gun show yesterday , found a sweet 22-250 with a set of the Checkered Curly Maple stocks for only $270 , there was also a NIB - 17-M2 Sportster with the old style " Tupperwear " Youth stocks , a couple Tracker 1's , in both 12g as well as 20g .

Also saw 3 - Huntsman 50 cal ML's , and maybe 20 other H&R assorted shotguns , in everything from 410 to 10g . Prices were not too bad either , most of the shotguns were running between $90 and $125 , the 10s were just a tad more .

The worst part is that I shot all my fun money for Mama & the kids at Christmas , so I need to start re-stocking my fun money again it looks like .  :'( :'( ;)

Yeah, Richard, I've shot my wad too.  I'd really like to build a .500 and a .444 and cut my .445 back to 16.5 inches, but I just don't have the spendies now.  Poverty sucks.

Yah, poverty sucks but look where you get to live. I know a young buck that grew up a little ways east of you. Paradise Mich. He spent 5 years in Milwaukee and is going back to the Soo. He is happy as ya can get.

It worked out different for me ,I went to the last 2 gun shows with money in my pocket looking for a handi in 308 or even a 357mag or 44mag there wasn't a handi at either show in any caliber same thing on the one last month. there just seems to be no handies for sale in my area at all. I'll spend all my money and then I'll find a bunch of them  ;D

I heard that,  I have always wanted to be able to pick up some more guns, but money prevented that,  made worse by the fact that I don't really have anywhere good to shoot.   The only way i was able to get the handi I have now is to trade a .22 that I had.  I would really like to get another reciever to be able to tinker with, and "gulp" camo.  Also would like to pick up a slug barrel, and a couple other centerfire barrels including the sweet little 45-70.

   My problem is when I go to a gun show around here I'm lucky if I can find more than 3 H&R's in the whole show.
