    Restraint is the better part of dignity. Don't justify getting even. Do not do unto others as they do unto you if it will cause harm.

    the one that defeats me is bubba having a go at a nice rifle and then asking top dollar- second hand Sako recently on TM bugger had screwed a bipod mounting onto a wooden forend - nicely figured stock but now not original but wanted top dollar- sorry but its damaged goods - reduce the price - many of us very fussy about our wooden stocks and if paying big money must be original - another had carved finger grooves - another glued on a cheekpiece - my rant for day

    One that amuses me is Tha R93 is to be avoided because they don't make them anymore. Yet their pet Sako model from way back is super sought after because they don't make it any more.
