Binko, congratulations on getting yourself a nice shotgun. Your wife must be very understanding. I don't think mine would let me spend more money than I could get selling my '94 Toyota pickup. You were also a very good sport the way you replied to what Joe said. Irrespective of how brash you might think he is I hope you respect his opinion. He says what he believes regardless of how well it will be received, and considering it will only increase the odds that you got all that you paid for and expected to get (Somehow I get the feeling this is going to cost me another star ). I'm sure you will get years of enjoyment out of owning your new gun and it will serve you well.
