    I'll give you ten bucks more than you paid for each of them. Just in case you feel guilty! Some guys have all the luck!

    Like I said, some guys have all the luck! (At least at buying). Couldn't touch a Wingmaster for near that up here. I have a Winchester 62 that I've been offered 500 for, it's probably "very good", book description, but it's near and dear to me. I'd love to start collecting all the different caliber/gauge combinations in the Savage over-unders, but they run about 300, beat-up, around here. 20-some guns will have to do for awhile, until I can afford that new Ruger .45 LC with the birdshead grip. Always wanted one of the Colts, but I'm not increasing the price by 700 bucks for a picture of a horse on the grip. I think the Rugers are just as good. My Single-Six looks like it went through a holster a million times (maybe it has, I didn't count) and the grips are beat to hell, because I wear it when I'm logging. It wasn't an investment, just a neat gun one of my kids will have one day. I had the opportunity to tote around an old S&W Model 60 5 shot .38 for awhile, loaned to me by a friend. Had a bobbed hammer and some other custom things done to it, slid in a blue jean pocket real nice. Really neat little gun. Going for around 350, without the custom work used around here. Oh, well, someday. Think I can trade a Stevens bolt-action .410 for one? LOL!!!Edit: I sold a Mossberg 500 last year for 180, a .410, birch youth length stock. I'm coming down there to buy! But not to sell!![This message has been edited by timberbeast (edited 11-14-2001).]

    I rarely see a savage over under around here and you sure don't get one for $200.00. I thought I had gone on a tear with 4 guns in three weeks. I love hearing about people with no room left in their safe. It makes me feel more normal.
