First, I know this is actually a silly question .... the answer is obviously BOTH.
But ... about 17 years ago while in grad school, I put in an order for a new Shiloh. Sent in my deposit and then got busy with work and life, moved a few times and lost all the paperwork. Got so busy with work, I never was able to re-connect with Shiloh and then had kids and just lost track. Well, now I am at the point in my life, when it is time to revisit my lifelong passion and I have some time to enjoy along with enough funds to indulge myself within reason.
I am looking to purchase a nice used Shiloh and then get a few more on order. I would imagine that after 17 years, Shiloh does not have a record of the transaction either and I start a new process.
I plan on getting up to 5 Shiloh's eventually (one to leave to each daughter and a 5th for the fun of it) and listed them out below.
If anyone has an idea of where I can find any of these on the list within the used market, I would appreciate some info. If anyone has any advice, I am all ears ... Thanks.
74 - Early Buffalo (50/70) standard stock heavy barrel
74 - Billy Dixon (50/90) with 14lb barrel
74 - Creedmoor (44/90BN)
74 - Late Buffalo (45/90 or 45/70)
77 - 45/90 w/ round barrel and Rigby Flats.
Cheers and looking forward to hearing from the gallery.
