I don't believe anyone buys a Woodward for 7k and expects it to be an investment piece. I think you bought just what you wanted, a shooter you will be proud to carry afield.

I think you did well. The fact that you came by an EF is a nice bonus. Congrats. I hope you fill many a game bag with her.

Like John, I found this thread to be of interest. Rocketman's contributions are especially educational.

It would be of interest also to know if Cabelas' "negotiated" the price with you. Not by how much, just if they did or not.
