Took a furriner shootin' yesterday....

My wifes cousin is visiting from Argentina this past week..Sunday we took her out to the farm...It took the fireplace about 6 hours to warm the place up but eventual it did (Its summer in BA's and she was freezing up here in Hoosier land)...We went out back and she got to shoot my 1974 Smith and Wesson Model 17-3 (K 22 Masterpiece)...She shot very well and was hitting cans offhand at 25 yards right of the bat...It was her first time shooting and she really enjoyed it...I may have her post some pics later...

She brought me the Argentine version of "Outdoor Life" and it made me really appreciate the prices here in the States (even with the panic buying).

Here are some examples. A new Mossberg Maverick in Argentina is $640...An 870 Express is over $1000...Glocks are roughly $1100...Bersa's (which are made there) are twice as expensive as here...Seeing those prices sort of put things in prespective for me and made me once again appreciative of the U S of A...

Argentina has a very rich gun culture and unlike some other Nations there is no negativity towards guns...A gun shop is called an "Armeria".

Peso's...Eight peso's to one dollar...We caluculated the cost using a currency caluculator...The price's in the magazine were in Peso's. Argentina is having a problem with runaway inflation right now. Evita Botox aka Kirchner is a Socialist Witch who is driving their economy to the ground. She gave free laptops to HS students and then had the voting age changed to sixteen years of old...

That country seems to run itself right into the ****ter about once a decade.

Very sad, it really is a beautiful place.

Very good Rick! Should have hollered, I could have loaned you a 23k kerosene heater for the day. Hate to have a friendly visitor catch a chill.
