well, i've had rifles reproduce. quite often, actually. it happens w/ handguns, too, let me tell you.
went to the big city today to scope the srh... spent about 2 hours comparing scopes and dickering w/ the counter-jockey, until i got a deal that was liveable for me. wound up w/ a nikon 2x20, a shoulder holster to fit the gun w/ scope, and enough ammo and range time to zero the scope... the nikon was not as nice as the leupold or burris, but for the money it was fair. add in the range time and ammo, and i decided that i didn't need to spend high-dollars on a 150 yards and in scope. nikon it was.
so, after my range time was over, i went to go pay for my stuff, and next thing i know, my mouth just took over. have no idea what was said, or how it was said, but tomorrow morning i have to go back to sioux falls to pick up my new sig 229 in 40 s&w, galco holster, and ammo...
ahh, well... its only money. if i didn't spend it on a handgun, i would've spent it on a rifle... lol... my wife is unaware, as of now, of either purchase... lol! but, tomorrow i'm sure she'll say something along the lines of 'are you done buyin' em, now???' lookin' forward to a little range time w/ the 40, and a lot of range time w/ the 480!
