Being broke for awhile isn't sooo bad, as long as you have the guns to mess with. My recent, almost like new, 5943 acquisition from Cabela's is rapidly becoming my favorite 3rd gen DAO. I may shoot it the best of all our 3rd gens (3953 -our carry guns, 6946 and now 5943). We are now looking for a 3rd gen. 3953 or 6946 for daughter and hubby. I guess we will be infecting another generation with the 3rd gen bug. Heh heh heh.
