33. "RE: BONUS GUN OF THE WEEK"
In response to message #32

Oh yeah, an aside about the Ithaca Model 72: I went and had look around Gun eBay a while ago to see if I could find one (Gramp's went to Cousin Mike the Marine in the great divestiture, which is perfectly fine, but I have to admit I did kinda covet it). Turns out the .22 WMR version was pretty rare, and the only listings I found were for the .22 Long Rifle model, but one of the listings really struck me as funny. The description contains this sentence (pasted out of the listing, which is still live, but will end in a couple of days and then go away):

"It was not a notable rifle, nowhere near the quality of its Marlin and Winchester Competitors."

Now, is it just me, or is that a deeply strange thing to say in the course of trying to sell something? "Of course it's not a very good rifle, but still, bidding starts at $399." This may go some distance toward explaining why it's been listed for (at least) the better part of a week and, as of this writing, has zero bids.

And the thing is, I remember Gramp's Model 72 as a fine little gun. Maybe the magnum version was nicer than the regular .22LR one or something, I don't know, but still. Not junk. What a weird way to go about it...
