I'm 53 and sold all my big boomers over the last few years and took the path of having fewer but "built by me" rifles. I used donor actions, picked the barrels and had a gunsmith put everything together. I initially decided on a couple of mild, short action chamberings - 7mm-08 and 338Fed. Both are under 7 pounds scoped so they are easy to carry. Ammo is made by me and have plenty. I recently added a 243 just to for something different and is my loaner rifle, if needed. My kids wonder why I got rid of all the fast and loud guns. I say: I am old, I just want "easy."
