Several years back at a Cabelas store I noticed very nice lever rifle in the open used rack. An 1892 in 44/40 by Miroku. Inspecting as closely as I could without a bore scope, I only found two hard to see hairline scratches on the barrel and a tiny dimple in the high grade looking stock. I should buy this right now, I told myself. I forget the price, but it seemed fair to me. Nah, I figured; I have my JB Marlin 94 in 45Colt and my old Win. 94 in 32SPCL, and my Win 94/22 already. Plus, I would need a new die set and sizers: BUT, I do have a 6 cavity copy of my PRS 430-200-RF boolit. I walked away and drove away without the prize. Within an hour I had come to my senses and I was back at the rack -- the slot previously holding my prize was barren. Ah, but now! Now the brown truck is on its way with a brand spanky new Miroku short octogon rifle in 44WCF. Oooo ooo oo o O!
