First I am not a gun collector. I view each one as a tool that I enjoy shooting. I probably wouldnt have even thought about getting one if the trade deal hadnt come up. I really enjoyed restoring it to usable condition. My hunting days are getting shorter and fewer in number. I just dont enjoy it as much anymore. shot enough deer, turkey,, squirrel, ect. My firearm interest has narrowed to .22 rimfire, bench rest in particuliar. I DONT need anymore (probably a lot less) centerfire rifles. I will always have some, my revolver for CC. and of course the ones My grand kids use and will own when the time comes.
I want someone who really can use and wants it to have it. thats why I offered it here first. It will just sit in my safe. I dont want that.
Well first I offered it to my son as a gift. He said he had no use for it either as he has his own. If this deal goes thru I believe the buyer will enjoy it.
Guess it is hard for some to think I would get rid of it. But then again I cannot understand the desire to own say an AR, or a Plastic pistol (i.e. Glok).
I enjoy fishing and camping with the wife. the grandkids are getting older and their interests are changing also. The oldest will graduate in two years and will go to collage, he wants to be a "Head Shrink" ..... lol. The other two, Who Knows ??
