Mr. Petrov, While I am not 21, I am probably one of the youngest members of the board. I read this site everyday picking up information that can't be found else where. Before this board started I always viewed rifles as tools not art like a fine sxs. This board has opened my eyes and you have shown me that rifles can be in the same class as a fine double. I am now in the hunt for a nice vintage rifle to hunt with next season but really have no idea where to start. How about a topic for the beginner, what to look for what to avoid and so on? I would like to thank you and the other members for pushing for this forum. While I may not post much I am always here. Thanks, JB
JB, First it's Michael, when someone says they are young I think, not drawing social security yet ;-). About 600 views to this thread and no one 21 or under, offer is good until Christmas.
JB, well read all you can on the subject, look at the pictures and ask questions. When you run across a possible classic rifle that your looking to buy, run it past me first. You can email me or call me. Folks call me all the time and I would much prefer you ask me about a rifle before rather than after. I hate to give bad news like last week I had to tell a fellow his Hoffman was a modern restock. Please remember the time zones you would be amazed how many 4-5AM calls I get.
