Autumn is so so I heard. An old timer who had been buying some stuff there told me he walked in with a custom 375 by the late Floyd Butler of Poultney, VT who was one of the finest smiths.

The Dakota is also very good with that salad bar.

When I told him he had pulled the trigger with the rifle aimed at me he denied it and said it was aiming at the ground. Wh...
