Gino,

I am not one to part with knives that I buy usually but if the time comes to pass that I do, you are at the top of the list for this one.

Re: Remingtons

Nice one Gino, I was looking at one of those a couple weeks back but didn't bid on it and wound up getting something else. Here's my latest Rem, a R103 Ranch Hand Bullet from 1999.....

TripleF,

Thanks bud.....these things got me jonesing for some more. I'm hawking over a couple auctions right now but if they don't pan out I'm likely to have one or more GEC's enroute. One likely another #85.
