I dont think its silly at all. Ive done it 3 or 4 times.
Lol...x2.
I was down to a T3 30-06 and a T-3 222 at one point. Then I happened to see a M70 at a store and felt teary eyed...after everything we had been through, so I bought 2 M70’s. I sold the T3 30-06 though! But replaced it with a 7-08. It’s a vicious cycle.
Seriously though, I keep 3 Big Game rifles on hand. A classic wood/blue bolt, synthetic bolt, and iron sighted woods gun ala 760. Currently at 4 and it’s bugging me. I can’t stand owning something I don’t use. Any more than 2-3 and I feel like a glutton. NMT 12 total (22, shotguns, pistols, MZ) etc.
I handload with my kids, so think of it as a benefit to them understanding tools and that’s it’s always better to make it yourself.
