Cayugad,

When all the fuss was going on about this "vendor has so many" and so on, I wanted one, a whole lot,but really couldn't get the blessing from my wifethat would have made me feel comfortable at the time. The sidekick was the first rifle I had purchasedsince we married almost 15 years ago. Before then, I collected and traded alot of firearms and still have more than I should.

The cabelas points and the sale of sidekick got me through the last two purchases without frazzlin her. A White would be great, I'd really like toown one,but it probably isn't going to happen. I'm gonna have to own my White vicariously, it seems, each time you post a pic of those awesome groups you shoot with it.

Right now, I am focused on a couplemore traditionals. Be great to find a deal like ahanster. I've been putting away a little money and taking stock of stuff which I have no use for anymore. I have a great collection of antique baitcasting reels and bamboo rods. They look pretty nice but I can't use them like I can a pretty new flinter! I've got some rifles I really need to sell. If I do that, I'm sure my wife will encourage whatever I want to buy with the proceeds. So that's the plan!
