Let's keep it fun... please.
No, $800 isn't cheap, but in these days of over-inflated prices a Peter-smellie (no bad names intended, Preacher, only fun) at that price ain't bad. Around here, a new P-soli won't go home for much less than $1500. OK, that's new, but I think you see what I'm saying.
The good Preacher Clint is happy with his gun ... and price, so I'm happy for him. You too, Rancher 13! Once again, when I started this "club" (which is ONLY a fun posting, by the way, not an organized club) I wanted to point out to the snobs that you didn't have to pay 2 to 5 grand for a Shiloh or any of the other REALLY expensive ... and wonderful ... rifles to have fun and shoot well! I just got tired of the "name snobs" looking down at those of us who can barely afford what we have, because I'll bet we have JUST as much fun with our Cheap-O guns as those who can afford better.
Thanks, guys. This started as a kind of joke and it's fun (to me, and mayhaps others) that it's still going after several years. I made mention of it well before the first post (here) which was in July of 2008.
