I should have made myself more clear.

I should have known. I don't always recognize tongue-in-cheek comments.

I've noticed a couple of these mis-identified first issue P. 08's on Cabelas websites in the past 6 months. If I'd not already traded my 'expendables' for my third variation G-date, I'd still be on the hunt for one of these. As it was, I missed out on one by a couple of days...but then my G-date surfaced, and I had to have it!

I've made a some nice 'scores' from Cabelas over the past couple of years, due to the fact that they have no clue about many of their lugers. Unfortunately, they also have some near-junk for sale at ridiculous prices as well. Caveat Emptor, indeed.
