When the deal fell through, I was grateful. I didn't come into ownership of this gun through normal means and, while briefly tempted, it has proven itself as a phenomenal shooting gun.<br /><br />All best<br />AndrewAndrew Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204944202954520498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720336639932650441.post-28125058764894026652012-09-01T11:04:25.176-04:002012-09-01T11:04:25.176-04:00How's that Grant treating you?

In much the same way that true objective logic didn't really apply in my and Steve's exchange, I find it hard to imagine that I would ever sell this lovely thing. And hopefully, if similar circumstance arose for me, I would have the generosity and self-confidence to pass it along to another who might not otherwise have such a fine gun in his collection.<br /><br />Nice blog, too, by the way!<br /><br />AndrewAndrew Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204944202954520498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720336639932650441.post-27526510556647148372011-01-18T19:20:41.119-05:002011-01-18T19:20:41.119-05:00Please let me know if you ever want to sell that G...Please let me know if you ever want to sell that Grant.<br /><br />The check is already written, just tell me the amount.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Gregg<br />www.dogsanddoubles.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920517648389288123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720336639932650441.post-19032825469035931622010-11-29T20:31:30.028-05:002010-11-29T20:31:30.028-05:00What an elegant trade.

I cannot afford to hang a gun on the wall, and Parkinson's however "at bay" demands something I can carry. I already knew Andrew's gun fit my specs, and that he would appreciate the Grant more than a collector would have.<br /><br />Or as I wrote to Tom McGuane, who has had London guns MADE (probably for more than my house cost), "it is pleasant to be old enough to trust your own judgment".<br /><br />Luisa: the budget is entirely Marlin .22-- I have just been wheeling and dealing for enough years that I have two shotguns and one rifle a bit above my "natural" level!Steve Bodiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434597061701369867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720336639932650441.post-32398566101932573622010-11-27T12:38:13.483-05:002010-11-27T12:38:13.483-05:00Wonderful post, and my nominee for best time-sink ...Wonderful post, and my nominee for best time-sink of Thanksgiving weekend 2010... <a href="http://www.atkingrantandlang.com/game-shooting.php" rel="nofollow">link</a> led to <a href="http://www.angloamericansport.com/site/pages/spain.cgi" rel="nofollow">link</a> and I wound up fantasizing about a hunt in Spain [with side visits to some of the <a href="http://stephenbodio.blogspot.com/2010/11/spanish-mastiffs.html" rel="nofollow">Spanish mastiffs</a> Cat has written about over at Steve's].
