Fritz I think they are starting to come out of the closets and gun safes since the prices started up. I think I saw the same thing happen to the Winchester Model 42s. A year ago you couldn't find a half dozen for sale in the entire internet marketplace. I bet I can find 50 for sale today.
Three falls ago I got on an airliner with three birddogs and two guns and a bunch of stuff and flew to Canada (Saskatchewan) all by myself - and I hunted by myself. It is like it was in Texas when I was growing up. If it is not posted you can hunt it and the grain crops are everywehere. Very little was posted. Huns, Prairie Chickens, some kind of grouse different than a Prairie chicken. They had wheat fields as large as 15 sections - that is a single field - 10,000 acre of wheat! Soft rolling hills.
As far as the Lone Star I am allergic to alcohol and had to quit. When I drink I break out in a drunk.
This gun has 30" barrel and weighs 7lbs 3oz. I figure when I get a proper butt plate on it it will lose a couple of ounces. It feels lighter than that. Both the EE and the G weigh about 6lbs 12oz
Best,
Mike
