Lunch break at Cabela's today, found Single Six #81

Post by Safestuffer »

Was sent on a do-nothing mission to HQ today, 3 hours drive each way. There is a Cabela's a few minutes away from HQ so whenever I am sent down I usually take my lunch at Cabela's and poke around the gun library. This is what I found today

JAYDAWG will be crying! He will be digging up one of those cans he has hidden and try to woo you with pictures of dead presidents. Hold out for a good price and make him throw some marbles in the deal

Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...

Congratulations. Someone At Cabela’s had their head you know where. I have seen examples where Cabela’s has mispriced Rugers, both high and low, but that’s the biggest one yet.

Well,
The #81 just visited the JAYDAWG mancave. Sweet gun and @safestuffer is a solid dude and gun guy 8-)
I couldn't talk him out of it..........yet :lol:
We talked a lot of Ruger & collecting, he's a Colt guy at heart. He's never been to Tulsa, but I think he's interested now!
I will admit, I am hoping if he comes to Tulsa, that he finds THE Colt he wants, and I can help fund the purchase with the #81 coming my way :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously......fun to have another collector and like minded dude in the same town.

Cheers,
JAYDAWG
