buddy and i went to a show about 50 miles from home. Just a small show that didnt have much. I did make one good score though. I was talking to another guy i know and his buddy walked up with a rifle in a case he was selling. I asked what it was and he told me a 94 marlin in 357. Told me he wanted 250 bucks for it and i bought it on the spot. Ive been looking for another 300 mag for crop damage shooting and really wanted a 300wby. They had exactly the gun i wanted there a 700 bdl stainles rem. Guy wanted 700 bucks for it and i offered him 650 and he turned me down. Should have bought it anyway but i was just to bull headed. Then i found a rem cdl that was like new in 300 rem ultra mag. It had a great price of 550 but i really wanted a wby mag. I went home with the marlin. When i got home i told the wife about the deal on that ultra and she said id better get back there and buy it. So we hopped in the truck and drove all the way back. Got there about 4pm and found out the show ended a 3pm and was over. Every other gun show ive ever been to up here went fri sat and sun. Not this one! Looks like I loose cause i dont have a clue who the seller was. Funny thing is i did the exact same thing last year there. A guy had a smith j frame 357 3 inch adjustable sighted gun at a good price and i left it on the table and went home and drove all the way back and it was sold. I really have to learn to quit hesitating!
