OK wow, that's way too big for an 85!! No kidding about the beast part. If you don't want that junky looking 85 * though, let me know. ;) Looks like I'll stick with my old FA, lol.
The 77 came today, it's so light and lovely. I'm in love. Sharp as a 5 body blade man. Now they need a 17 limited and a 137 limited, in keeping with the prime concept, though they screwed up with 77, which is not a prime. They should have made it a 73 or a 79. --R On Tue, Aug 24, 2021 at 5:26 PM Bill <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 8/24/2021 7:36 AM, Gonz wrote: > > Thanks for the info Bill, I'm looking forward to using the 77.
