Just did something really dumb

[wade-19]

Well I have been working on doing a budget build on my Remington 700 AAC-SD. Had Mark at SAC install a bolt knob, had a local smith time the RAD brake, and just ordered a B&C M40 sock yesterday .
So today I get on GB and right there in front of me is a 16.5 inch AAC-SD ! I just had to buy it . I don't know why, I just did ! Now I guess I'll sell the 20 inch and start all over . WTF is wrong with me ?

Yeah, but with heroin you can only shoot up. With two rifles, you can shoot up <span style="font-style: italic">stuff</span>!

I've learned that I remember the fun of shooting and quickly forget about how much money I've spent... unless the wife is around...

It's a wonderful sickness. I have been dealing with it for many years and has never gotten any better.

Re: Just did something really dumb

Yeah, this was the 20 inch AAC in November

In this set up it was heavier than I wanted for a deer rifle, so I sold off the Manners stock and the Weaver Tactical scope and Badger steel rings. I am going to go with a lighter scope and aluminum rings . Now Tom at Manners has me wanting to jump in on the group buy for one of the new light weight stocks they came out with this year. So like was said by another poster, so much for budget!

I hope so, I ordered one from Stocky's along with a couple other items about two weeks ago and I'm ready to get them before I change my mind and cost myself more money.

Yet another fine example of Buy it Cheap Buy it Twice!

Re: Just did something really dumb

This is truly a sickness but a wonderful one that keeps you broke and on a constant search for another rifle,stock,ammo,and accessories. Makes me happy.
