I'm not telling, Sask
So, I just got back from Mexico (Huatulco)after spending a week there relaxing and chillin on the beach. Many a Tequila and Cervesa later my liver is thanking me that it is over. We wandered around the town of La Crucecita that was close to the resort looking for souvenirs and things to take home. Earlier in the day, at the craft market at the resort I had spotted this what appeared to be handmade rifle case, and I was on the hunt to see if I could find one in town. Finally in the market I found ONE place that also had these cases, but alas the market keeper highballed me on a first price and didn't appear to be willing to deal. Initially the craft market fella at the resort had hit me at $3000 peso's for the less decorated case and appeared willing to deal. The market keeper hit me at $6000 peso's. I just walked away with him following exclaiming what you wanna pay, eventually after him following for over an hour he was at $3000 peso's. That evening I walked over at started to try and grind out a deal with the local craft market guy. We settled on $2000 peso's for the case(The much fancier one with more detail and colors mixed in), a big blanket that he was asking $480 peso's to start with, and a few other trinkets. After the dust settled I figure I paid about $100 dollars Canadian for the case give or take. Beautifully crafted in my opinion, but what the hell do I know. Figured you all might wanna have a look.




 
Very nice... Looks like it would be a nice fit for a 94... I would say that was a steal.
 
Back in the good ol' days we would holiday in Cali in the winter and take a trip over to Tiajuana(sp?). Any way it was fun to haggle over cool knives and leather goods. I got a sheepskin lined leather vest and Dad got a leather guncase like yours(also lined with sheepskin or similar?). He didn't have all those colors and the game scene on yours looks very well done. I like it, I think you did well...as my father in law likes to say "it would be cheap at twice the price!"

Thanks fella's I loved it as soon as I saw it. It actually fits a 94 nicely (Actually a bit big), my main hunting rifles just fits but is tight, and it will even hold my Shotgun. So really pumped, might have to pick up another next year if we go :)
