Spent a bit of money today (very little)

A few weeks ago I saw a very heavily discounted Savage Axis' in one outdoor shop's web pages. As my Rem 798 shoots 125 grain FMJs almost 10 inches higher than 170-180 grain hunting bullets it's been a small PITA when I train moving moose target with light FMJs and "constantly" have to use expensive hunting rounds to check and adjust the point of aim. (twice a year, spring buck and deer/moose season). So I got a brainstorm and decided to save some money by buying a new rifle. I got my old Leupold M8 scope with rings so I don't have to buy anything else besides the rifle.
One small sidetrack though. I decided to give my CZ 75 for trading. I haven't shot it much and it can go as I'm on shoestring budget as usual. I have to pay roughly 120 dollars + CZ. Very affordable at this point. Plus I don't have to buy better, much more expensive safe for my guns as the total number stays under six guns.
Now I just have to explain my excuses to police why I need a second 30-06 (what else ) in order to get my license for it. Hopefully I'll get it. Remains to be seen in next few weeks.

So now I can keep my beloved Mauser actioned 798 in hunting tune and use Savage Axis for training with running moose targets with 125 gr FMJs. Clever me. Ask my wife

Good luck with that!

Any excuse, uh, I mean reason, to buy a new gun is ok. Hasn't your time with this folks on this forum taught you that???
