I'm down to one rifle now because last year I went through some sort of midlife crisis (I turned 40) and got rid of what I had and bought a 7mm Rem mag, .300 Win mag, .338 Win mag, and a 10 gauge shotgun. That fad lasted all of 6 months until I was tired of recoil and muzzle blast and sold the lot of them. I then happened on an unfired, like new Remington 700 BDL .30-06 that was made in 1967. I got it for a song at $450. I quickly fell in love with the rifle and gladly hunted with only that for deer season after putting a Leupold M8 4X on it and sighting it in for 165 grain Core-Lokts. Right now I think about what I can add but I'm not sure what else I really want as varminting just doesn't hold much appeal for me. Deer sized game, black bear, and an occasional Moose are my needs and they're pretty much met.
