Hello again, THR!
Now that everything has settle down a bit on my end of things in the War on Terrorism, I might be around a bit more. LOL.
Well, the other day we were out shopping, and my wife runs across a Marlin Model 60 .22 rifle. Stock is a bit dinged up, a little finish weark and in need of a really good cleaning (I hate having a dirty weapon around the house...... ), but overall in very good shape. Price was a whopping $65! I had purchased a Savage .22 bolt action a while back, she didn't like it very much, and she has been looking around for a semi-auto .22. This one holds something like 16 or 18 rounds or so in the tubular mag underneath the barrel, whereas my Savage only (!) holds ten in the bananna clip. Trigger seems a little better than the one on my Savage.
Well, it's a good thing after all. Who can argue with his wife when she wants a new gun ("new", in this case, as in "new to me because I haven't owned it yet"- LOL), instead of yet another pair of shoes she will only wear once- (sorry, babe.....LOL!). Besides it's fair- I recently got a RIA .45!
