Just like the greatest generation. My generation has to also get accustomed to rationing especially when it comes to firearms. Yesterday I took a drive up north into Washington to venture in the tri cities and do some clothes shopping at the local sportsman warehouse. I was in desperate need of new Car hart pants since my job for the railroad takes a toll on them. As always I go to the gun section and drool over the abundance and variety of firearms that they have or had. When I got there yesterday there was really nothing left to buy. I mean it was bare and so was the ammo too since I try to buy a box of .405 Winchester or 45-70 every time I venture to that place. Nothing but zombie like people at the counter staring into what was once racks plump full of AK, SKS, M-14's, and other cool stuff. Now the racks only have a few skeet type shotguns alot of hunting type bolt actions and a few lever guns in which one did catch my attention a Uberti Henry replica, Nice. As my heart sank I also turned into a zombie, just staring not knowing what is going on around me at the counter.
Do not feel sad for me people even though I was turned into a zombie at the counter at Sportsman Warehouse there is hope for me. One bolt action rifle did catch my eye and I asked the counter man could I please see it (I am not much for new guns since I like surplus, but when something catches my eye it's all over for me). As he handed me the rifle he said "So going on a safari" I told him no but then it hit me what he meant as i was reading the tag: Ruger M77 .458 Lott. Hot dog! I gotta have this since I am a big bore fan, other people looked at me like yuk a bolt action where is my ak where is my ar. There is hope in the back of my mind as I looked at this beautiful rifle. Screw the .223 when shit hits the fan nothing like putting fear into the faces of the black uniformed riot gear wearing government goons when they see one of their own getting slammed to the ground from a 458 Lott. If that wouldn't demoralize the other 250 lb linebacker type goons around him then I do not know what will. Big bore for big game.

dude, we have a negat in the house, just listening to that bolt is music to my ears. There is something so satisfying about bolt action
Them negats are really nice for the price and sweet shooters too.
