Some things truly never change.

I always admired quality Doubles when younger with limited $$ on the hip and didn't fully understand their specialty uses but thought the prices outrageous.

Now that I am older and truly would enjoy having a quality gun they are all being made of UNOBTAIN-I-UM.

Oh well, its all prices and timing--supply and demand does that--and my Merkel still shoots great so life is good!!
