I have a couple of rifles I'd like to buy but! The but is AIM has notified me twice now that they have one of the rifles I want in stock and I'm not even close to having the funds for either one.

Funny thing is the first notice took over nine months. Now the second notice in less than two months. I may just wait until next year to put myself on the notification list again. The disappointment is too much. With any luck someone will clamp down on the importation and I can stop stressing!

Which rifles would they be?

I have the somewhat opposite dilemma. I saved up enough for something I wanted from Aim Surplus, only to go today to find out that it's sold out... *sigh*. Well, off to the email list for me.

The one that's in is a Vepr 7.62x54R 27.5". The other I can find easily just don't have what I need yet, CZ 455 Ultra Lux .22LR. Actually I'd like the CZ first, but wonder how long the Vepr will be available.

What's on your list?

Yeah, I ended up having to walk away from a Zastava M77PS .308 I had on layaway due to unforseen bills. Now I have to decide if I want to go with a VEPR .308 or build an AR-308. I'll probably go with the AR-308 slow build.

That is a bummer! Did you lose any amount on the layaway?

Thankfully, it was spread out over six months. Had to choose between that and the Ruger Super Redhawk, so I paid 'too much' for the revolver in the end.

Oh wow truely bummer! Not that the Ruger is bad just sad to pay more than necessary.

Eh, it was just MSRP. Took the wind out of some negotiations I worked on the deal.

Still, this does put off my next Appleseed a few months.

Oh my list, sorry I should have mentioned that haha.

I was eyeing a M1903A3 with a rebuilt Gibbs barrel. It was in stock for the last month, but when I checked this morning... all sold out. It's probably available elsewhere, but Aim surplus had it available for $200 less than other places

AIM does have nice prices.

mmmmmmm... CZ 455 Ultra Lux. Been looking at that one myself to learn rifle shooting with. Ordinarily I would say that is what credit is for. I'm in the same bind, and I must have looked at that thing about fifty times online and taken out my card at least six times before losing my nerve. I'd definitely go with that one first.

I've made a promise to not buy stuff until I have the money saved. RichiesPNG has some for around $385 if your looking for a deal.

Here's a link for the CZ. http://www.richiespng.com/product.php?item=347357

Jeez, that does seem like a good deal. Argh. I've been trying so hard to be responsible with money.... (and that is SUCH a buzzkill.

Thank you for the link!

Bacchus someone should get a deal if not me!
