Yes, the last one purchased was from Megasports, in July 03, although I don' t really take to those folks too well. If I rememeber correctly, I believe the 20 gauge standard model was $214 out the door. If not exact, I' m only off a buck or two.

Nobody had a 20 in stock so it had to be ordered.

But I got my 12 gauge laminated camo deluxe model for about 170 + tax at Rink' s out in Lockport back in (I think) 1991.

I went looking for the 20 at Rink' s in July before Megasports and that nite Rink' s couldn' t give me a nailed down price. They had to check with the boss the next day they said. But no one from Rink' s ever bothered to call me even though I told them I wanted one right away. So obviously they weren' t too concerned about sales or customers. So I didn' t bother calling them back either. From the other places I got quotes from, Mega was best.

There is a new gun shop a quarter mile east of Megasports on Rt. 30 called, get this......THE GUN SHOP. Alot smaller than Megasports, but real nice folks in there. I had them bore sight the scope for the twenty and they got it close enough that I only had to shoot a couple 3-4 boxes to dial it in. The kid shoots it pretty well. Hope he gets his first deer with it in a couple weeks.

Hey ya know the Illinois State Police open range for deer hunters is Nov. 15th over here. Any intrest in it. If ya want to try out an H&R there, let me know. We' ll be there.
