I had this one CD that I learned was making 1/4 of a percent interest.

So I thought: "Heck ! Guns appreciate faster than that !"

That's when a 150-watt bulb turned on inside my brain.
So when I left the bank with the cash I was not at all surprised when I came across this...


:uhoh:


:confused:


:scrutiny:

pre-safety Win. 94 30/30...

:)

Asking price $300 - absolutely firm.
Purchase price 30 minutes later $225 out-the-door.

Then - due to my having always led a clean and virtuous Life and keeping company with only the most Pure and Stalwart members of the Community - the Rifle Deity led my steps to this....

:uhoh:



:D



NIB .243 (and a NIB Leupold VX-III 2x8x36 for it which will arriive tomorrow).

And thus filled with Happiness and Brotherly Love I turned my footsteps down the road to my home...

When suddenly the Wise and Earnest Counsel of multiple THR members returned to my mind !:eek:

"How did you ever get down to just ONE .243?" the chiding voices kept saying.

Louder and louder they blared until I knew what I had to do - and this is what I did...



:uhoh:


:what:

The "200th Year" #1 is used but the Nikon Buckmaster 6.5x18x40 is new.

And THAT'S what I think of the :cuss: bank's quarter-percent Generosity !:neener:

:cool:

Nice choices Shawnee, and more fun than money in the bank. That's a sweeeeet #1.

Dave Ramsey himself could not have made a wiser investment, good job! Does your wife appreciate your financial acumen?

[Shawnee]

I waved Good Riddance to my then brand-new ex-wife years ago.

Peace on Earth is a Wonderful Thing !

[Bearhands]

Excellent!

[oregonhunter]

[qajaq59]

how did your day go? :D:D:D

[DRYHUMOR]

Cool. :D

[gvnwst]

yay!!! Shawnee no longer has to mope about his lost .243, instead he will rejoice at having 2!!! :neener: being more serious, nice guns Shawnee. (i may just use this method of obtaining "investments":D)

" i may just use this method of obtaining "investments"


LOLOL ! :D:D:D:D


It has worked pretty well for me so far but the real test will be getting it to justify a 3rd .243 (Browning BLR). :)

;)

[tiger rag]

well done!

[Shawnee]

Will say this about these three rifles...


The Winchester 94 - it's one of those rare guns that has a splendid and totally unique feel and handling character. The best word I can think of to describe it is "svelte". It's the firearms industry's version of "comfort food".

The Remington Seven - Have wanted one since they first came out a quarter-century ago. Of all the bolt rifles ever made, the Seven comes the closest to the sweet-handling properties of the Winchester 94. It's really incredible.

The Ruger #1 - This is a familiar, favorite friend that is as comfortable and "natural" as steak 'n eggs. Probably 80% of my centerfire hunting has been with Ruger #1 rifles and I'm postitively delighted to have one back in the family.

we need to hear more praise of the .243! (and the 30-30):D

[Liberty1776]

Well, gosh. I hope tomorrow goes a little better for you...:D
