Shopping at the Southern

These are hard to find and I have a new (1974 vintage) Browning Safari grade (Sako action) 243 or a Cooper Custom Classic 17 HMR to put it on. I also stumbled into a pound of Green Dot powder. I was a happy camper and content with these meager acquisitions.
However I stopped to say hello to Bob Nay at McNab firearms to introduce myself. I bought a matched pair of Stephan Grant 16's from him right after the Southern last year.
I ended up with a matched pair of Purdey Island Lock hammer guns and a GH 32 inch twenty. Not bad for not having a check book

Must be something about the good looks and the Snow White beard, not sure how else you could pull that off

Allow me to add that poor Richard has NEVER left the Southern without buying a gun or two, checkbook or not. The GH twenty is nice.
