What did you add to your Parker collection in 2018?

My smith is retiring for the most part so this will undoubtedly be my last custom rifle.

I did forget another rifle and probably one of my smartest gun deals ever. I've collected pre64 M70's for years and had a 250 Savage (250-3000) a rare and expensive rifle. I sold it and bought a Remington 700 classic in the same caliber and put a pile of cash in the bank!

OMG Rich. The Remington 700 is a fine gun but selling a pre 64 model 70 in 250 Savage????? Other than 22’s, the only rifles I own are pre 64 Model 70”s, the Parker of rifles. This was as shocking to me as learning that Dean bought an off brand double this year. True, it is a magnificent example of a small bore Sterlingworth, but geez guys, are all the purists gone? I guess I’m one of the last purist hold outs.

Guess I'am not a purist either. Bought an 1896 Ithaca Crass with 32 in barrels and an L.C. Smith grade 2 with chain Damascus barrels.

"Strike when the iron is hot"

"A rolling stone gathers no moss"

"Don't deny the giver"

"He who hesitates has lost"

All of the above apply in the case of "an offer that can't be refused"
