At the gunshow on Sat. I sold one, and bought another….Traded a handgun for FRN’s and then, before they devalued too much farther while I was holding them…., I used them to buy a longgun.  (gotta love a state where FTF purchases are legal)

“She’s a 26” heavy barrelled Savage 112 in .223 with a Timney trigger topped with a Weaver “classic” scope….”

I may well have to call her “Vera”.

Or something.

Claimed accuracy is 1.1″ at 100 yds….Said claim made after I had purchased it, so I have little reason to doubt the man. Said he was selling it to generate cash for Cowboy Action firearms…

The stock needs a bit of work (dents and scratches), but the metal is pristine. The trigger is SWEET!…. Rifling is clean and sharp, and the crown is either recently turned or it has less than a  thousand rounds through it……Bluing is even and has no scratches. The scope is clean and sharp.

Likely the rifle will shoot better than I will be able to.My hands are not as steady as they were when I learned to shoot 25+ years ago.

We shall see.

Went to the Nappannee gunshow today. Bought and sold some guns too….But that is another post, for later, when I can take a few pictures for posting…..

Today’s topic is bacon….

A bit of background:

Midwest Chick and I convinced Og and his friend to go with us, as they are serious collectors and this a  show for serious collectors….

Of course, we had promised them that there would be, nearby, an Excellent Breakfast.  And, I think, that he will agree.

So we went to get food before entering the gunshow.

I so love watching someone find their Happy Bacon Moment.  The smiles on their faces were gratifying…..

Bacon! (this was, I believe,  the third trip past the buffet..)

Amish Bacon. Not sure of it is made with real Amish. but it sure tastes GOOD.

I, of course, only ate 0.93 lbs of bacon (as well as some biscuits and gravy and assorted potato bits and such) ’cause I are on a diet…..
