I guess I'd rather keep my money in the Great State of Texas & say Sweet Texas 1015 onions get my vote!Walla Walla, the home of the best onion in the world: https://www.sweetonions.org/
That and Leonetti Cellars, some of the best Cab Sav in the US.
I have eaten them like apples, and just south of the Tri Cities were some of the best watermelon (Hermiston). Preston wines (outside Pasco) was very good.Walla Walla, the home of the best onion in the world: https://www.sweetonions.org/

Many years ago I found a Bersa .380 marked as a Beretta for about $450.
When I pointed out that the pistol was not a Beretta but a Bersa( stamped clearly on the slide) Pawntard looked at me and said” it is a rare mis-stamped Beretta, very few made it into circulation and this worth much more”
I told him to save that bullshit for his regular halfwit customers and walked away.
And there‘s the Glenfield 30A .30-30 I got last summer. Not a screaming deal, but I think it was a decent price. Certainly cheaper than I was seeing advertised elsewhere. I’d been on the lookout for a Marlin 336 pre-Remington but had troubles finding anything decent for under $500. This one caught my eye, and they had just put it out that morning. Build date 1972. Bluing is in impeccable shape, rifling is perfect but the stock had some dings in it. No cross grain scratches or anything that tore the grain. These were dents like it was bumping up against something while in a car or truck. I gave $425 out the door for it. Those dents in the stock came right out with steam, and an afternoon of work, and after several coats of Tru Oil, it looks like a brand new gun. Now, if I can locate any ammo for that does not have pandemic pricing, I’ll finally get to shoot it.
Grumps, I have been looking for something like that for a long while. Unfortunately, I have spent my gun budget, I will start looking again soon. Couple of weeks a go Walmart had 2 boxes. Win. 150gr and 2bxs. of 170gr. I bought the 150 hoping to find the rifle soon.And there‘s the Glenfield 30A .30-30 I got last summer. Not a screaming deal, but I think it was a decent price.

Yes sir, me too. I sure hope Ruger does right by MarlinGrumps, I have been looking for something like that for a long while.

Maybe Marlin will be back in business before the end of the year.
Made in 1960.geezer,

Been about 5 years, I was kinda looking for a compact carry gun, and went into a pawn shop in Uvalde. There were a lot of overpriced, beat up guns, and there was this S&W 3913 that looked terrible. When I got it in my hands, I could see it was filthy, but looked like no wear and no scratches underneath the film. Price was $350 and they had the box and spare mag. I walked out with it for $300, tax included.

That was a very good find. These third gen Smiths are getting popular, and your example looks very niceBeen about 5 years, I was kinda looking for a compact carry gun, and went into a pawn shop in Uvalde.
