saxet show - DS

Post by ghostrider »

did anyone go to the Saxet gun show in Dripping Springs (or plan to today) ?

was there a 30.06 sign?
was it worth going?
was the lot full of agents writing down license plate numbers?

I went Saturday morning.

I didn't see a 30.06 sign.
Agents? Um, not that I could see/notice. But, I wasn't looking for anyone.
Worth it? Meh. It's a much smaller venue than the Expo Center, not as many vendors, much smaller than the one in Cedar Park last week. I was looking for reloading components, didn't see much there. Gun prices looked decent, based on the sampling I checked.

I salvaged the day by making the trip to Cabelas where I DID find what I needed.;-)

At the last show up in Cedar Park, except for powder and primers, reloading components were mighty scarce.

I figure the only reason I saw powder and primers was because HAZMAT shipping surcharges drive up the price to order them - practically everything else is cheaper if ordered over the internet.

A camera would do a better job.
