Have a nervous breakdown. There is no way I could decide which .22 to keep and which to unload.

I did do that some years ago. A LH Kimber 82 was so accurate that it drove out every other .22 rifle I owned except a 1968 10/22 kept for sentimental reasons. But the sneaky little things kept creeping back and now number five in the house with a current bid on a sixth. One would "work" but they each do something a little differently or a little better than the others, or they handle differently, or whatever excuse seemed logical at the time of acquisition.

Life is short. Unless there some financial need to convert firearms to money, pamper yourself.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
