[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2225972, member: 30309"] As a young pup, I had the opportunity to work for Gene Pearcy AKA 'Evil Roy' - for those that don't know, he's kind of a legend in the SASS world. I worked for him as a young buck, working as office manager in a real-estate office he owned in Durango, Colorado called "Red Carpet Realty". He also has (and may still have) a company called "Performance Building Systems" that builds monlithic structures with shotcrete. By the time it was all said and done, I could quote every fact known to man on those buildings. the SAA was just getting started back then. He took me out shooting a couple of times, trying to convince me to go buy a Ruger Blackhawk and join in the fun. At the time, I wasn't making much money, had a new baby and contentious wife so it wasn't gonna happen. He wasn't the legend he is now. In fact, I think he'd only been shooting a short time. I could have been a legend right there with him had I understood the gravity of the situation. Hindsight is 20/20 ya know? Super nice guy. he really wanted to mentor me. I was young a foolish and missed my chance. If I could go back in time, I'd find myself and kick my own butt for that. Anyway. my go-to rifle any time we're out on the property is my Winchester 94. Think of him ever time I pick it up. [/QUOTE]
