Not arguing, I see your point. But I have to drive all over town to hit 4 or 5 shops and spend all day doing it, or I can hit one gunshow for $15 and hit 100 different vendors and private sellers, run into old friends, make chitchat, and have a good time for a couple of hours. I might even score a scoped Handi Rifle in .308 for $325.
I was pretty happy about the Handi rifle for sure!
