This was the remodel of the West side where they added the Cheesecake Factory, William Sonoma, Pottery Barn etc.. You can see the "new" stores from HWY 217.
I've only been doing sprinklers for 8 years and I'd been in for a few years when I got on that job.
You must be thinking of another remodel they did before this one.

I now scratch my eyebrows a bit with my head bent over after I've been working on dusty stuff. Makes it so those bits fall away from my face rather than down it.

This is the aluminum airlight version. Its new. Its a fair price compared to what I've found in town and on gunbroker.

So $410's not bad for a store price for a new one...

The price difference is somewhere between $150 and $250 more.
I am having a hard time reasoning the extra money on a revolver that wont be seeing that many rounds through it.
Pricing isn't a super deal, but its as cheap as anything I've seen in the past couple months.

Yeah, 10-4.
Don't get me wrong...I'd love to step it up to the scandium revolver...but that extra coin is needed elsewhere.

The weight difference between the two is something like 4 ounces. Not going to break me I dont' think. The difference is 11oz to 15oz.

If the rabbit played dead like most did after a few rounds the borzoi would prod it with their paws or give it a gentle toss. They would play this game with any critter that was not supposed to be there that got into the yard.

Borzoi are amazing coursers. I had a friend in UT who used to course them on live hares. Very beautiful to watch. I think that is illegal now.
