    Everything has it's price.....name yours $$$$

    My dad inherited a Belgian A-5 from his dad, and bought me an A-5 for my 16th birthday. The one he bought me I would probably need a couple thousand for, but if/when Grandpa's-now-Dad's comes my way, two things are likely to happen. Mine would come down in price, but Dad's would be more like...

    OK... you're casting a bit part in an action film...

    Tom Selleck. Show him a .45/70 Sharps, and say that "It's a little less powerful than I really prefer, but you're in a pinch, so it'll have to do."

    Tikka T3 vs Marlin XS7

    Hi there, I'm looking into picking up my first bolt gun, and pretty well settled on .308 (versatility, ease/cost of ammo, etc). Everyone raves about the T3, but the new Marlins are getting a bunch of good words too. Assuming that the difference (~$125-150) needs to come out of glass...

    Top Shot - Season 3

    Any chance the rifles were deliberately sighted in such that they had to see impact and do a little Kentucky windage (especially on the last couple of stations)? That's the only thing I can come up with for why even marginally competent shooters would be repeatedly missing these large targets...

    "Geez, it's just a Glock"...

    I think the point is, as several people have said, that it's not the money, it's that Glocks are more or less fungible. If you tossed your G23 in a pile of other used G23's, for all practical purposes it doesn't matter all that much whether you get yours back out or not. I know that my dad's...
