Do you remember waiting anxiously for the next edition of Shotgun News arrive?. I recall literally reading every issue from cover to cover in search of deals. Some times 3 issues a month, This was well before the net and some speed and talent was needed when a rare items came up requiring a quick call and get the job done. With the advent of the net the "news" faded fast and only the big sellers of arms and parts did ok. Ultimately they changed the name to "firearm news" with articles and just the big Sarco ads as the anchor. Today Sarco announced that they are pulling their big 15 page ads. Dunno about you but the Sarco ads were about the only reason left to view "the news" at all. Sadly this may be the end of another collecting tradition.
