30-30 rant...
« on: February 14, 2011, 02:08:54 PM »
5 times in the last 3 weeks 30-30 Handi have showed up on Texas Gun Trader.  All at least 7 hours round trip for me.  The latest is a 158 for ...!!! $80..!!!  Only 4 hours away one way.  And I gotta work late all week.  Oh, well, someday soon.

I know.  whine, whine...
Think as if you LIFE depends on it... IT does..!  Be Well...

Being the boss isn't always as great as some think it is, but in this case it might have been.  A 158 Topper for 80, I'd have called and told him i give ya 100 to hold it till my next day off.  You ain't whinnin man, that's legit!  DP
