Rather than hijack the "Hunting rifle battery (does anyone actually do it?)" thread I thought I'd start a new one.

I'd rather spend money on rifles, handguns, reloading, optics. hunting and other shooting expenses than:

  • Alcohol
  • Tobacco
  • Drugs (recreational)
  • Women (other than my wife)
  • Golf
  • Most other first person sports (as in almost all except fishing)
  • Spectator sports
  • Ocean cruises (especially with 3,000 of our closest friends)
  • Anything else that involves large crowds
  • Vacations to most places
  • Movies or other theater (especially other theater)
  • Fancy clothes
  • Fancy vehicles
  • Fancy home
  • Keeping up with the Jones
  • Gambling


And about a gazillion other things.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
