I agree with 45-70Gov, if you like the gun, buy it ! $39 doesn't even buy a decent meal anymore. A good analogy was told to me once that I use often now. Think about all the people on the Titanic who wanted a dessert after dinner on that fateful night; however, they chose to save the money, not knowing tomorrow would never dawn....
I paid what I thought was a fair price for a Handi combo the other day here on GBO. I have no regrets, and can't wait to get my new toy.
Its a .30-.30 with a laminate stock. The barrel is worth $150; the receiver is worth $100; the stock is worth $75 to $100. I see it as a deal ! Buy it, shoot it, and enjoy it !
