Again, no 'dissing' of the field grades, I agree, they kill birds just as well as a graded gun... they don't know the difference. At the same time, not everyone hunts on loose rocks on a 45 degree slope and everyone has their own comfort zone. Nothing that I own is reserved for the range, nor has anyone been in my 'den' for years. I tend to purchase what makes me happy... or to sell to online dealers.
Yet, once again, the point of my once subtle post was... get to some gun shows, estate sales, auctions(not big gun auctions), garage sales... lots of poor ones, but the good stuff is where you find it. Most of the good deals online are gone within hours, many, minutes, some dealers/sellers leave the guns up for months, others take it down as soon as they get an offer. Most of us have a non-gundealer job here and can't spend the time to catch most deals. Beyond all of that, better to see a gun in person and walk away, than to pay to see one poorly represented. Most guns seem to photograph better than in reality.
Just my opinion, no more, I don't want to ruin my good thing.
Pj, after bashing every known American gunmaker since this board started.... why bother?? Or is this a new leaf as with LG??
