Every day I dream of buying another rifle , another caliber . I eat and sleep rifles
I can only hunt whitetail deer where I live so I don't need anymore than I already have and don't need those. I have been taking the same rifle hunting for 25 years now even on the exotic hunts I go on the same rifle ( Dr Death ) Rem 700 7mmSTW . I had it built before it was a production rifle . I have killed so much with it I lost count , I have more than I need but I want more. Yes I'm sick ! Anyone else have this addiction? Lol

Lenz,
Welcome to the 'fire. I sorta know the feeling. I'm tired of making wildcats and spending money on them instead of hunting. I plan to hunt more an fiddle less.

No cure in sight. The "fix" gets more expensive as the addiction grows.

I am confused over this quality/quantity thing.
Among the last few dozen rifles I've acquired there's been a very nice Sauer drilling in 6.5x57R/16x16 (with a .22 Magnum Rimfire insert for one shotgun barrel), a New Ultra Light Arms .257 Weatherby, a Jack O'Connor Model 70 Commemorative with above-average wood even for that model, and a Winchester 1886 in .33 WCF. But in between there have also been several "affordable" rifles, the models including the Ruger American, Savage Axis and Thompson/Center Venture.
I like all of them, though some more than others. Is this a sickness or merely what PC people call "inclusiveness"?

No.
It's what Psychologists and Psychiatrists call a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors.
'Other behaviors' for this group is possessing, shooting, buying, selling, trading, modifying, loading, cussing and discussing guns.
We are addicted to guns.

I told the wife last year that I'm done. I got more calibers now than I have time to reload for or, even shoot, since most all my rifles are used strictly for hunting. OK, now I am looking for another 45-70, this time in a lever action to devote entirely to hard cast bullets. Hmmm, this new ploy may work for a couple more new rifles. Yep, I'm sick…just not crying out for help just yet since I might find another good buy.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
