Frankly I am sick of people making comments on what other people pay for rifles they for the most part can't afford to buy. Who cares what they pay if it is more than either of us can pay. You have no way of knowing what their motivation was and it should be of no concern to you. You bailed out as I would have too but who really cares? Now to the poster of this one I apologize because it seems to be aimed at you but believe me you are not the only one so please don't take it personal. Like someone said on another post where an exorbitant price was paid for something, maybe he was completing a set or something you never really know nor should you really care. I paid $775 for a universal carbine with the wrong front sight, a sling, scabbard, butt stock mag pack, and 100 rounds of reloads. This was 15 years ago now why in the heck would I pay that much? I ain't telling you either! Then again if I didn't know why It would not and should not concern me. I admit if I knew the person I might ask but that is between the two of us and no one else's concern. Bill

PS yes I am a crotchety old buzzard!

You blast me and then tell me not to take it personally...ok. Whatever you say. Pardon me. :roll: I'll remove the post. If I can figure out how. Ok I cant remove it, I reported the post and asked to have it removed. Have a nice day.

It was meant as a general blast and you were in range? Does that sooth your feelings a bit? No reason to remove it just sort of take in under advisement maybe or if you wish ignore it! I am just making a point I feel is missed by many. Bill

This is a discussion board (forum). If you do not want to read the discussions or it offends you or "makes you sick", then I suggest you don't read them.

Administrators are available through the PM system on the board if you have problems. No one except Administrators have the right to restrict discussions. If someone is breaking the rules, you can "remind them" of the rules, but leave the heavy lifting to the Admins. :wink:


Have some fun!!!!! ;mywink;
