On a related note, my old college roommate and I were talking about the old days when we were broke college students. We each had a deer rifle (pure factory, each probably capable of 1.5-2 inch groups at best), a 12 gauge shotgun (mine a used wingmaster, his an 370 express), our boyhood .22 rifles (Marlin model 60 and a 9422), .22 handgun (Colt New Frontier and Browning auto), and that was it. But we had just as much fun shooting, and perhaps more fun hunting, as we do now. And boy, do we have more and better guns now! Think I'd trade the firepower for the youth.....
We did a lot of dreaming about the guns we'd someday own, and those wishes were almost more exciting than actually
owning them.
