My crazy Italian wife of 39 years has made it very clear I will be living in a tent if I decide to play.Well, on to "other people's divorces". Today I got up on the wrong side of the bed and decided I was not going to drive 150 miles round trip to the Hamburg Buffalo Shoot. My very good friend (and board member) Cimmaron Red e-mailed me the other day reminding me of this shoot. He lives 2,000 miles away and I am 75 miles from Hamburg. Yea, if it was not for him, I would miss most of the shoots around here.
Thanks Gary!! Oh! the divorces.-------Instead, I jumped in the Rubicon and cruised on down to my other hideout, Miller's Sporting Goods in Boothwyn, Pa. which is only 9 miles away. I walked in the door and Joe says to me, "hey Jack, I got something for you. I know you have always wanted one of these but were too cheap to pay regular price. This cat walked in a little while ago and said his old lady is divorcing him, so he needs to sell some guns".
Well, the guns were Taurus and some other foreign junk except..............this Springfield Armory National Match .308.
I says, "How much and you had better "sharpen your pencil" on the price". He says, "How does 9 sound? The previous owner bought it here 2 months ago and shot 40 rounds out of it and its one of the reasons his wife is divorcing him. She said he has too many guns." I said, "That cat is a fish, only a dope would sell his guns just because his "high maintenance" wife wants the money to get her nails and hair done like some Hollywood pig." Oh well, you can't tell these young guys nothin'-live and learn I guess.
As you boys know, these kind of guns are not my thing but with the savings I did by putting in my own clutch slave cylinder and transfer case a few weeks ago made it all possible to blow the bucks I had in my pocket.
