I figure if I go that route, I'll take it down to a CZ-550 .270 a Ruger 10/22 and an old Coast to Coast 12ga pump. Have yet to decide on a "debt deadline" to get it paid off before selling the guns...

I could get by just fine on those three and never miss a hunt, just don't really want to(I have my reasons for those choices). Has anyone else here had similar thoughts? Seems like more and more this world is coming to borrowing money you don't have, to buy stuff you don't need, to impress people you don't even like...and I'm done. Anyone else feel the same way?


I've done it before. Just make just you don't turn around and get yourself back in debt again and have nothing to sell the second time around. I've seen that happen more than a few times. If you can get yourself out of debt without selling them you're even better off. Guns in the safe are somewhat like money in the bank.
