Bad influences

[Adam in WI]

Is what you folks are. I could have pocketed this money and squirreled it away for a rainy day. But everyone's pictures of beautiful woodsrunners, colonials, and southern mountain rifles was finally too much to bear.

After weeks of agonizing over woodsrunner/ colonial, .54 or .58, and which darn wood; I finally came to a decision.

A Google search for colonial longrifles is what initially led me to Jim's website; I had zero idea his company even existed a month ago. Fifty four caliber was picked for a balance between horsepower and shootable heft and cherry just because it seems uncommon.

Think of it this way you can make your money back and maybe add some, but did you add the $315 for the lock?
Have fun on the build.

They're incorrigible and present a clear and present danger to my bank account.

If you had just pocketed that money and squirrelled it away it would be worth three to five percent less in terms of what it could buy in just a year from now. You bought that rifle and it will never deteriorate in terms of what it is and what it can do if you take proper care of it.

We are the good influences

don't think of it in terms of dollars and cents; think of it in terms of a durable asset aquired; dollars and cents are not durable assets

Good for you. None of us live forever but we should live well. You did good. Try to keep us up on your progress.

, but did you add the $315 for the lock?

Yes, that was budgeted in a well. I shouldn't say cherry was selected solely to be different; it's different enough while still being economical.

As a child my mother would advise me not to associate with bad company untill she realized that I was the bad company.

I try that argument often; it's not a huge seller.

I dunno if I'd go that far.

Good for you. None of us live forever but we should live well.

Amen
