I have been saving my pennies for a nice double for quite some time, but when my wife called me from the garage where her truck was being looked at, a chunk of my gun money disapeared into thin air! Her truck is 20 years old, so I guess that since she didn't want a new one and just wanted hers running, it was a better deal for me to fix it.
I was checking on Gunbroker and saw a 45-70 Pedersoli going pretty cheap, so I impulse bought it. I know that the purists say that the 45-70 is a toy, but I can't wait to get it in my hands. I hurried up and ordered a leather case from Jeff's Outfitters and also all the goodies that go with it.
All in all, a pretty double that I can use here in the states for under $2k, still seems like a bargain to me.
