[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2827547, member: 13337"] I'm my own Santa Claus,,, And I was very good to myself this year. I had a bit over a Grand saved up for the Wannenmacher's Show in Tulsa,,, I was looking for one specific rifle but had no luck finding one,,, So I decided to just throw good sense to the wind,,, And spend that grand on other guns. I had originally wanted a KKW rimfire trainer to match my K98 Mauser,,, But there were none to be had so I decided to go a different way. I found a nice civilian Mauser ES340B on GunBroker,,, It's the exact (well really close) gun as the KKW,,, But with a sporter stock instead of military,,, It will arrive at my LGS this Wednesday. I wanted a .22 handgun to pair up with a Savage Mk-IIF rifle,,, The gun I chose was a Rossi R98 Plinker revolver,,, I've been looking for one for over 6 months. Since I couldn't find one I chose a Ruger Mk-III Standard instead,,, It arrived a few days before my Christmas vacation started,,, I usually pair semi's with semi's but this is still a nice duo. A friend had a Charter Arms .38 Undercover that she bought new,,, Unfortunately she never liked the gun very much,,, She couldn't hit anything with it. She found a Taurus 9mm that she liked a lot better,,, Since I wanted a revolver just like hers to pair with my Charter Arms Pathfinder,,, I found the Taurus she liked, bought it new on sale, and promptly traded for her gun straight across. Then, as the fates would have it,,, I was notified that Buds had the Rossi R98 back in stock,,, So I moved the Ruger Mk-III into the case with my Mossberg 702 Plinkster. The Rossi R98 should hit my LGS before the New Year,,, My Mossie has a proper semi-auto companion,,, And my Savage has a proper revolver mate. [LIST] [*]One very high quality single-shot .22 rifle,,, [*]One brand new Ruger Mk-III pistol,,, [*]One slightly used .38 revolver,,, [*]One brand new .22 revolver. [/LIST] I had to add just a bit to the original Grand,,, But I'm a single man so I'll do without my morning treat,,, I can make my own morning coffee for a month and make it all up. So yes,,, Santa was very good to me this year. :D Aarond . [/QUOTE]
