Can you do an "on-line" auction ? Could donate any "extra" dollars to a worthy cause.

Wow, Congratulations on the nice win! I don't take that great of care of my guns either, but I would upland/dove hunt with that sucker if I won it. But then I have been Teal hunting with a fancy gun that cost me about what your asking for that one.

Congrats I don't know if I could take that out or not. The wood on that thing is awesome! Who am I kidding it would definitely be going out. Probably not in the marsh though.

Nice gun for sure. Asking price is way low so you should dump that quick. Then again, it's probably not a gun you'd hunt with. Congrats on winning those items. That will make someone a fine gun.

I'm afraid I may have given a wrong impression. I did NOT WIN those items ... I BOUGHT them. The Bronze is easily worth $500 at any DU banquet I've ever attended. I was high bidder at $220. The high bid for the SX3 was $800. That was well below the Chapter's cost. To prevent it from losing money, I volunteered to buy it last night on a cost plus $100 basis and am now only trying to get my money back out of it. If you haven't noticed ... I've been advertising a number of guns in the THF classifieds trying to cut way back on my collection. Still have most of those and more to go. How many guns does an almost 69 year old duck hunter really need? 
Cappy ... At my side for thirteen years, in my heart forever.

How many guns does an almost 69 year old duck hunter really need? As many as he wants! I'm very tempted on the SX3, but I really want to get a 20 gauge O/U next year and there would be no way if I bought that.
