Day of hello's and goodbye's

[Grouse]

I said good bye to the following today
my 24"ar-15 varmiter

I loved shooting quarter sized 5 shot groups at 200yds, but i had not shot it in almost 3 years. well 2.5 to be exact. Time to let it go. I was into it for 1500 and let it go at 2100 today. I did include 10 new 30 round mags and a case.

I also let go my Dan Wesson 22VT with 2,4,6" barrels

It was a super fun gun, but i had found my 617 no lock 10shot and had not fired this in 2 years either. Time to let it go also.

The third was a recent acquisition. Just under a year with me. It had been on my list for about 10 years. I picked up the P7PSP and thought i would love it. I could not shoot mag after mag. I typically shoot 300 rounds or more through at gun at a time. After 3 mags one could barely hold this gun. So after a lot of deliberation this went today also


In return I picked up a few new guns.

First is an RZ-10 Stainless. 10mm 1911 has been on my list for a long while. With DW selling or preselling all their 2013 handguns and most of 2014. I was not sure i would be able to find one. So i snatched it today.




The next was a RZ 45 heritage Stainless also. Nice clean gun. will make a great range gun.





Both have typical DW quality. the RZ10 though is a beast to rack. I can hardly wait till i can shoot it. I will need to order my ammo beginning in feb.

My third gun is a bit of a quirky one. I have wanted a CZ-75, not the 75b but a cz75 for a very long time. The gun i picked up is an AT8. What the flark is an at8s. Well the owners and makers are ITM of Switzerland. They later made the AT2000, and them finally changed their name to Sphinx. The gun is dirty as hell. The shop gave me credit for 1/2 day of degooping the gun. why people sell dirty guns i don't know. Just amazes me.

Anywho I picked up the progenitor to the Sphinx 3000! yay me!

479 for this, current rate for one in Ch is about 850-900 CF. so Damn near a steal.

I had just not shot it in years. I was given a fair price. Fairer than i had been offered on the local forums. By almost double. So my suspicion is that both it and the P7 will hit the owner personal collection. They broke their No consignment rule and sold the AR-15 Varmiter for me.

Nice pistols.

Congratulations. Not sure about that AR decision, but hey, a gun that you use is always more fun than a safe queen.

Looks like you got some AMAZING guns in the process.

I found myself going through the same process, and I can not say that I am sorry. I spend a LOT more time at the range because of my decisions. And that is really what it is all about.

There are a couple of guns that I miss, and wish that I had back, but am I happier? YES!

[Grouse]

I have 2 more Ar's in the safe. That one was just really pointless under 200yds. I don't have that kind of range space here in CT. I do think i will spend far more time at the range now than i had been.

A few weeks ago i got my pricing sheet for Ammo. I plan on setting up another buy here for the CT guys. If i have time i will put it up this weekend.

Pretty neat..........personally I would have had to keep the DW 22 revolver!!!

[Grouse]

I have been fighting that for better part of a year since i picked up the 617. I took it out 2 or 3 range visits ago. I just found i enjoyed shooting the 617 more. When i went in to make this deal. Trading this in, along with the p7 and rifle allowed me to pick them all up with cash in my pocket. Yeah I will miss it, but in trade i ended up with a few guns i am far more likely to shoot regularly.

If you are that interested Call Evan or Paul at hiller sports

Sounds like you made a great deal! Need range reports on all 3 !
