[corey012778]

went to one of my favorite gun shops today.
they had an 58cal euroarm? of america looked like some type of carbine very short barrel for $325 to $375, two cabela's six shooter one the remington the other an navy 150 each, and another 6 shooter for $185. also picked up an mossbery 4x4 30 06 they have setting in the used guns section. I really really hate that stock design, it did feel good thou. loved how the bolt released to look at the bore.

But, I am going to save my money for an CVA Apex.

Corey, I'm glad that thing isn't in a shop near me. I would likely be dickering for it with a lowball offer just in case the seller needed the cash flow.

was not in consignment, so they bought it, looked in great shape almost look unfire. I am betting an reinactor (that can't be spelled right lol) owned it.

The Cooks Brothers rifle I have heard is a very good shooter. Maybe its the roundball twist or the fact it was made to shoot a minnie ball. New they are pretty expensive. So yes, keep them things in your part of the world. They are too tempting in mine. One reason I moved to the middle of the woods where there is nothing around me...

[corey012778]

the company that distributes them are maybe 3 or 4 hours away from me.

semi and cayugad. you know I could always give you the phone number of the place that has it.
