Ordered a new Ranch!

I posted a thread yesterday about maybe picking up a used 182-series, but I deleted it because my local gun shop found me a brand spankin' new ss/syn Ranch, which is EXACTLY what I want, although I wasn't really ready to spend the cash on a new one just yet. But oh well.

This may not seem like a big deal to you Americans, but they're getting pretty scarce in Canada because Ruger isn't exporting them any more, thanks to that end-user certificate bs, so I decided to bite the bullet (no pun intended) and go for it.

I was also asking about Elcan scopes, but I found something I like better, the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T (1-3x14mm, with circle dot!). Unfortunately, it costs more than the Mini-14, so it'll have to wait. A friend of my brother just picked one up, and he's going to let me test-drive it.

So many hobbies, so little money.

I'm in Calgary and when I heard about the embargo on the Mini, I started looking for another one to buy just to have a second one. I wanted another SS Ranch in the synthetic and had to call all around the country to locate one for less than $1000!! (although there was a few wood stock minis in town). I called everywhere from Montreal to Vancouver, and finally got one in Edmonton for $900 Cdn (new) and it finally came in.
