Well, the wife is out of town running a half-marathon in Nashville, so I had all day free for manly activities. I got up today, got in the car, and started driving the 3 hours from NYC to the Cabela's in Hamburg, PA. Of course, I knew I could not take any guns home with me, because I refuse to play by the rules put in place in the rather unenlightened leaders of our 5 boroughs. However, since I am moving soon, I have been thinking of getting back into reloading and I have forgotten the little I knew. So first on my list, new reloading manuals. I picked up the 49th Edition Lyman, Sierra's 5th Edition, and the 2nd Edition of Lee Modern Reloading. Looks like I have homework for a while. Picked up a couple of knives that were on clearance, because like guns, you can never have too many hunting knives. I also picked up two boxes of Lapua 308 Brass for $64.99 per 100 which was cheaper than Midway's price not including shipping and a neat Winchester Wooden box to keep it and move it in.
I spent probably five hours wandering the gun library, hunting and bargain cave sections of the store just soaking it all in. Got some things I needed (OK wanted) and met some nice people (employees and customers). I know most of you are saying, what's the big deal, you went to Cabela's. But when you live in the firearm wasteland (except for cops and criminals) that is NYC, a trip to Cabela's or BassPro is like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
