Mike,

I'm one of those unfortunate souls who is a slave to his mortgage. But I love my rifles, really I do. These Cabelas schemes have been thebest way I've come up with to justify my obsessions with fishing and hunting with my wife. Even so, alot of my own money goes into these sports andwhen it goes in a little at a time, there is usually only support from Steph. A rifle, especially an Omega, is a whole nuther matter but even she is impressed with my scheme of obtaining one. Its an investment I tell her.

I freely confess to being diseased with an obsession for outdoor sports and especially muzzleloading. My name is Phil, my first experience with muzzleloading began at the age of 15, it was then that my father bought a hawken kit . . . .
