I was really surprised when the Postal truck stopped at the house on Thursday morning... Brian jumped out with a long package for me and said "I know what this is" - at first I didn't becasue it was not suppose to be delievered until maybe Saturday and probably Monday - so it did catch me off guard - what is worse Terry answered the door and saw the whole thing. In fact she took the box from Brian - handed it to me and with that look (and most of you know what I mean) said "Merry Christmas and do not expect anything else!" She then turned and walked off while Brian and I were talking - then came back and slapped a big red Christmas bow on it and uttered these works - "you can not open it until Christmas morning and you have to wait for the kids to get here." They are a 150 miles away and will not be here til early afternoon Christmas...
Well, I did get to open it cleaned it all up, mounted the scope and with Dave's blueprint built a scope bra for it. I installed a trigger shoe on it - I really like trigger shoes. Got the laser bore sighter out and bore sighted the scope at 12.5 yards, and now I am ready to go shoot - but gotta wait for Christmas with the family - I promised.
Monday shold be the big day!
Merry Christmas to everyone

I think he is telling me that he thinks I will not really sale the Extreme... but, I kinda have to cause I told Terry I would... But I can not sell it until I am sure that this Elite is OK.
Besides Frontier Gander - Mountain Devil - Big Block - on another thread said he can not under stand why anyone would by a Knight - cause they are out of business.
But i am thinking I could sale this one - Stainless - Fluted & a shooter... even if it is a Knight.
And it looks good...
