I prefer the term Vultures, thank you. Now how much for the 30-30 dingo?True.
You also just lit the signal fire for the buzzards.
Just put of curiosity, since this seems to always be a stumbling block for silhouette matches, where do you get your target setters?For the lever action folks in central Texas, there is going to be a Rifle Caliber Lever Action Silhouette match at Austin Rifle Club in Manor Tx on December 31.

This is how feel and have done the same. Gave lot's to those I knew wanted something or something in particular that's always easy to spot when theiobject. Gleam and focus on that object.I never owned 'safe queens'.
My late husband and my MT husband never owned safe queens. My late husband only owned a few guns in his life ON PURPOSE and they were only in 22lr and in 357Magnum calibers.
Use it or lose it is my motto.
GIFT it, pass it on or sell it is my motto if YOU choose to do this.
I just asked my husband who got up @ 4:30 AM (Montana time.) if he ever really owned a SAFE QUEEN and he said, "NO."
He said that the CLOSEST FIREARM that he ever owned as a safe queen was a gun that he killed 2 ELK with AND shot at his range and in other places.
That was the rifle that I did SEE IN PERSON and he sold at the old now closed up store called Brady's Sportsman's Surplus here in town.
He just repeated this to me again since I asked him.
It was RUGER MODEL 77 limited run - 1 in 500 made and in a .358 Winchester caliber.
IT was previously OWNED and bought NIB by the ORIGINAL OWNER here in town, HANK WILLIAMS JR. I think that Hank still owns a few places in Montana but I am not sure.
That rifle NEVER made it to the shelf and it was SOLD on the spot when my husband went in there. He still had the sales slip and the men knew my husband there too.
We sold some WINCHESTER 94 Trappers too. They went fast and were in 45Long Colt, 357Magnum and in 30-30 Win. calibers.
They were bought NIB, shot, and sold down the road when Winchester stopped making them.
Those 94Trappers that my MT husband and I owned were NOT the famous PRE 64 (YEAR made wise.) Winchester rifles that my late, dear old friend in guns/politics/RKBA issues in Colorado owned and collected over the years. He was another Nam Vet and a GOOD man like my late husband was. He lived in Grand Junction, Colorado. This best FRIEND died within ONE WEEK of my late husband's death and in the same YEAR.
I see nothing WRONG and I NEVER DID if a person decides to GIFT, pass on or sell something that they choose to do when it comes to a FIREARM or in any other object or thing.
If someone else wants it and USES IT and YOU do not want it any longer OR if you LIKE SOMETHING ELSE or if you want to TRY something else different or YOU can't use it due to physical issues - handicaps or if you have SPACE ISSUES in your home or want to make your life more simple in ALL matters or if you are AGING and have no children - let someone else use it and be HAPPY with the ITEM that SITS there not used by YOU.
NO one really needs a REASON or an explanation on what they DO with their things.
I am not just talking about guns or knives now too.
I have made offers of some gifts, some people wanted the items and some people did NOT want the items because they HAD NO ROOM in their home or the things were items that they were NOT INTO - INTEREST WISE.
With that said, I found GOOD HOMES for many things in my life where people did WANT and USE what I GAVE TO THEM over the years. This went for my late husband and for my MT husband too. So it was not only about sales but gifts and donations too.
