    BASS PRO gun museum

    My wife had off today and we took nekshotjr to Springfield and toured the NRA GUN museum in Bass Pro's store. A really neat collection of gun and archery goodies for sure. If I could have just one of them, I would take that neat little cape gun 16x42or 45. That one caught my eye!

    1 more question. If any of you were there and know what scope mount and scope is in on the mauser 98 sporterized I sure would love to know?? That is the absolute slickest set up and allowing the original safety to stay on gun I have ever seen.

    I have been to the museum several times. Any time I'm in Springfield with some time to kill that is where I go. It is worth the time if you are in the area.........Terry

    The Museum is about 45 miles from home. Well worth the trip if you are passing through Springfield.

    Road trip! The Davis Museum north of Tulsa is worth a trip as well, especially if you like percussion rifles and shotguns.

    For myself, the ultimate was the Cody Museum. Every aficionado of firearms, should put that one on the bucket list.

    Nothing to worry about, because for once, I have the proper tool at hand. Looking for a little heat?.......Any questions?
